The Wonder Years - The ocean grew hands to hold me

I stopped making deals with ^GGod Right around when ^Cadd9you left I said that ^EmI would start believing If they ^D/F#made you well again Guess they knew it was ^Em7bullshit Never hold up ^Cadd9my end All the ^Gwalls are stained in your nicotine I could ^D/F#feel closing in

I heard somebody ^Em7cry I thought I was a^Cadd9lone I came to ^Em7numb my lungs in the salt air Let the ^D/F#breakers heal my bones I wish that the^Em7 current would ^Cadd9carry me home I've been ^Grunning for a decade now And I ^D/F#think I'm ready to go ^D/F#Oh, I'm ready to go

I stopped making deals with ^GGod When the light finally ^Cadd9died I'm gonna ^Emguard what's left of the good in us When the ^D/F#ash blocks out the sky And hold you with my ^Em7left hand And ball up ^Cadd9my right And if the ^Gbastards come for both of us I'll be ^D/F#right there by your side ^D/F#I'm by your side

When I was in ^Bmshambles When I got ^Gtoo weak The ocean ^Dgrew hands to ^Ghold me When I was in ^Bmshambles When I got ^Gtoo weak The ocean ^Dgrew hands to ^Ghold me

I stopped blaming ^EmGod When you said you were ^Cadd9sick I learned to ^Glean on the people who love me When the ^D/F#sutures start to split I trust in the^Em7 current to pull you ^Cadd9back in I miss ^Geveryone at once But most of ^D/F#all, I miss the ocean
