Love Affair With The Ocean chords

[VERSE 1]
Well I was only [G]a child of about four or five,
When the bloomin[D]g was beginning in the back of my mind
‘Till th[C]at point in life it’s like I couldn’t see

[G]But I could feel the water in between of my toes,
So I jum[D]ped right in and felt it rush up my nose
It s[C]tung in my eyes real bad and I couldn’t breathe

[BREAK 1]
[D]It started there,
My love [C]affair,
With the[G] sea.

[VERSE 2]
It was o[G]n the golden coast I found a Mexican girl,
A feeble[C] little senorita ignorant to the world,
She drew[D] me a picture of the beauty that I
Hadn’t s[G]een.
And up u[G]ntil that point I’d never been deep before,
It was a[D]mazing, I was weightless, in my ears was a roar,
And no m[C]atter how I wished it I could never get my feet
On the f[G]loor.

[BREAK 2]
[D]I was afraid
[C]I wouldn’t make it
[G]Back outside

That’s n[D]ot to say,
If I’d h[C]ave stayed
That I w[G]ould mind.

[BRIDGE]
And I lo[Am]ved your hair,
Whatever color i[C]t came in
If I could paint[G] I’d paint your nose
If I could paint I’d pai[D]nt your nose

And I lo[Am]ved your smile,
Whatever flavor [C]it came in
The smell of win[G]e from in your throat
The smell of win[D]e from in your throat

Where ar[Am]e you, dear?
Are you [C]lying still
[G]Asleep
[D]Next to me?
Where are you, d[Am]ear?
Won’t you reach [C]over and
Shake me[G] from this dream[D] ?

Before it’s time to go,
Before you have to leave[G] .


[VERSE 3]
[G]And then there came a woman who had indian eyes,
She remi[D]nded me of sun, the sandy beach and the tide,
And the [C]color I’d be if I floated all day on the ocean.

And the [G]love I later found in an economist girl,
Reminded me of s[D]eashells in symmetrical swirls,
Each one cradlin[C]g the echo of a great big collective world ocean.

[BREAK 3]
I crawle[D]d ashore,
And pour[C]ed my form
Out on t[G]hat beach.

And some[D]where there,
I must h[C]ave fallen to sl[G]eep.
And I fo[D]rgot eve[C]rything.[G]
