Loved The Ocean

C Em7 G C


[Verse 1]
C                                 Em7
I thought you said you loved the ocean
G                              C
When we were standing at the shore
C                         Em7             G
You didn't even dip your toes in but I believed you
                C
Just took your arm
C                     Em7
When you lie to me I smile
G                                  C
Cause I don't know how long we've got
C                              Em7
And when I look back at the pictures I can
G                           C
Remember things that we're not

[Chorus]
C                 Em7                        G           C
I used to try to make believe you were the other half of me
C                Em7                  G            C
Tell myself you made me better so I never had to leave
C                    Em7                 G                C
All the while I'm swimming and you're watching from the beach
C*
I thought you said you loved the ocean

[Verse 2]
C                        Em7
By the time I'm back in Boston
G                     C
You'll be home in California
C                            Em7
And by the time you finally want me
             G                       C
I won't be close enough to keep you warm
C                            Em7
And that's my problem with emotion
G                                C
There's no controlling where it goes
C                       Em7
One more drop is overflowing, your glass is
G                    C
broke can't see me anymore

[Chorus]
C                 Em7                        G           C
I used to try to make believe you were the other half of me
C                Em7                  G            C
Tell myself I made you better so you never had to leave
C                    Em7                 G                C
All the while I'm swimming and you're watching from the beach
C                                    Em7
I thought you said you loved the ocean
C          G                  C
I thought you said you loved me

[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
C              Em7     G          C
Give you an inkling, toss you a notion
C              Em7     G           C
Give you an inkling, toss you a notion

[Chorus]
C                 Em7                        G           C
I used to try to make believe you were the other half of me
C                Em7                  G            C
Tell myself you made me better so I never had to leave
C                    Em7                 G                C
All the while I'm swimming and you're watching from the beach
C*
I thought you said you loved the ocean
C* Em7*             C*
  Thought you loved me
