Oceans Burning Chords
Version #1
The Horrors

The beauty of this song is that the harmony between the vocal melody and the
 chords is just so gripping it sounds good with whatever instrument you play
 it on. I just wish I had an accordion or grand piano or some sh*t.

Fairly roughly done, you might prefer it with power chords

Intro: Em C G Am

Em                 C
In the orchard we see you once again
G                       Am
Listening only with the sunlight in your arms
Em                 C
It's a change to see you in my world again
G                       Am
Only visiting but happy anyway


D
It's a joy
C
To see you waiting there
G
Lit up
Em
Left glowing in the air
D
It's a joy
C
To see you waiting there
G
Writing letters
Em
Burning in the air

Intro again

Repeat 1st verse chords:

In the picture we see you once again
Still leaning with the sunlight on your arms
Then the life sent itself into the air
Till someone came upon the frozen stare

It's a joy
To know you waiting there
Lit up
Left burning in the air
It's a joy
To see you waiting there
Writing letters
Burning in the air

Em                         C
Bring all wonders to light
G                          Am
Bring all wonders to light

No lyrics for the next part, but:

Am  Em  G  Am

Em
Like an ocean
Em
Life that overcomes
Em
Like an ocean
Em             Am
Likely follows right behind
The only one

Then sh*t gets real. On acoustic I just play around with Em as if I know what I'm doing 
following some kind of rhythm from the track.

G              D        Em
On a lonely ship, we are
                 G                D   Em
Waking like an ocean which is sighing oh
G              D          Em
Even when I told you were wrong
G              D           Em
Turns out you were right all along

G                    D
Hold me open when I am with you
Em
Hold me open when I am with you
G
You know it's gone
D
You see me run
Em
As if to hide

G           D      Em
There on a lonely ship, filled full
       G              D      Em
Of an ocean which is burning oh

G                    D
Melt together when I am with you
Em
Held together when I am with you
G
We had it there
D
We had it there
               Em
I could have sworn

G                  D              Em
Turns out you were right all along
