God Of Ocean Tides chords and lyrics - COUNTING CROWS

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[C]Clo[G]se the door on a short night
[D]Lift the lid on [Em]the daylight
6:09 West Tennessee [C]time
I buy all [D]my [G]days
[D]At the same place where
the girl sells her night[C]s
To a god of ocean [G]tides

[Verse 2]
[D]All night long
Writing [C]poems to Califor[G]nia
[Em]Melodies of failure
And [Am]the people I have thrown away
[D]Meanwhile somewhere
[C]west of Carolin[G]a
In a [Em]con gregation of strangers
We are dig[A]ging holes to China
Then [C]we pray to our reflections

[Verse 3]
In the water when it rises
[G]Headlights pin the highway down
[D]Je sus spins the world around
[Em]I spend all my tomorrows
coming [C]down
Goodbye all [D]my [G]days
I know I said [D]I never loved you
But [C]I might just try again [D]tonight[G]

[Verse 4]
Truck [Bm]stops and [C]river gods
Gas [D]stations of the [G]cross
[D]Following a ghost [Am]Following a ghost
I pray [C]the water wash [D]away
the memor[Em]ies and t[D]he c[C]ost
[D]Carry me south [G]to the sea[C]
Along [D]with your memor[G]ies of [C]me
We are born in [D]the water
[G]I will return to the[C]e

[Verse 5]
[C]Coloured lights and birth[G]day cakes
[C]Candle wax on pa[G]per plates
[C]Breathe the water
[G]Hush-a-bye
You You You can see [C]through water
All the way up to [G]the sky

[Verse 6]
[G]Gods of water Gods of rain
[D]Cover up the sun again
We [Em]are crossing at the Mississippi [C]line
I tried all my [G]days
To love [D]you just the way you hoped [C]I might
But I'm leaving here [G]tonight
I can't [D]remember yesterday
I [C]tried
If I said I could
[G]I lie[Em]d
[C]
