C  Bm  G  Cmaj7/G


[Verse 1]
     C         Bm           G     Cmaj7/G
Your body may be gone, I'm gonna carry you in
      C        Bm           G   Cmaj7/G
In my head, in my heart, in my soul
    C           Bm        G         Cmaj7/G
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both live again
               C            Bm            G           Cmaj7/G
Well, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, don't think so


[Chorus 1]
C                      G
Well, that is that and this is this
Am                                   G
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
C                     Em        F         G
You get away from me, you get away from me
C                             G
Collected my belongings and I left the jail
       Am                                      G
Well, thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell
C              Em               F
I had to think awhile, I had to think awhile

[Verse 2]
Cmaj7 (hold)
The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in? In your head, in your mouth, in your soul
      C              Bm             Am
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both grow old
     G        C
Well I don't know, I don't know
Em              F
I don't know, I hope so


[Chorus 1]
C                      G
Well, that is that and this is this
Am                                                   G
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
         C          Em        F
You get away from me, you get away from me
G    C                         G
Collected my belongings and I left the jail
       Am                                      G
Well, thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell
C                      Em       F
I had to think awhile, I had to think awhile


[Bridge]
C                      G
Well, that is that and this is this
Am                                                        G
Will you tell me what you saw, and I'll tell you what you missed
C              Em      F
When the ocean met the sky (You missed)
                C                   G                 Am
You missed when time and life shook hands and said goodbye
          C           Em    F
When the Earth folded in on itself (You missed)
     N.C
And said "Good luck, for your sake I hope Heaven and Hell
(You missed, you missed)
Are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath"
(You missed, you missed)
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?
(You missed, you missed)
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?

[Verse 3]
    C             Bm      G                  G5/F#  G
The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in?
         Bm      C         D           G G5/F# G
In your head, in your mouth, in your soul
     C            Bm          G                   G5/F#  G
The more we move ahead the more we're stuck in rewind
              Bm            C
Well, I don't mind, I don't mind
         D         Em      D Bm
How the hell could I mind?


[Chorus 2]
C                      G
Well, that is that and this is this
Am                                   G
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
C                     Em        F         G
You get away from me, you get away from me
C                      G
Well, that is that and this is this
Am                                                        G
Will you tell me what you saw, and I'll tell you what you missed
C              Em      F
When the ocean met the sky (You missed)
N.C.
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste the afterlife?
