Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][Baug][B][Em][B]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Late one
night I had a no[B]tion
An epi[Em]phany would [G]be a better [D]word
So [C#dim]I stumbled in the dark
[A]down to [C]the ocean
And I [B]pulled my broken heart
out of [Em]the surf[D]

[Verse 2]
I had [Em]told her I did not have
much to [B]offer
And I had [Em]told her I would
treat her like [D]a queen
But I [C#dim]guess I wasn't worth
what [A]I w[C]ould cost her
So the [B]night has brought me
to this cor[Em]al re[D]ef

[Verse 3]
So [C]down to the water I [G]will come
[C]To raise for her this castle
with [G]my hands
[C]And steal away before the
[Em]morning [A]comes
[C#dim]Cause I don't n[A]eed her [D]love to
[C]love her all I [G]can
[C][G][Em]

[Verse 4]
[B]
So [Em]night on night and year [B]on year
Well, I [Em]worked until my
hands no [D]longer bled
And I [C#dim]let the ocean bear away my te[C]ars
So that [B]she would know that I
could love her [Em]best[D]

[Verse 5]
And a [C]desert's just a sea
[G]without a shore
[C]And a lonely man at worst [G]is still a man
And [C]I ain't gonna cry for
her [C#dim]no more[A]
[C#dim]Cause I don't n[A]eed her[D]
love to [C]love her all I [G]can

[Verse 6]
[C]I o[G]fte[B]n
[Em]dreamed I saw
her face among [B]the people
Who'd come [Em]to see the coral
fortress I [D]had built
But it [A]may as [C#dim]well have been
another [C]seagull
And [B]the castle is there
waiting for her [Em]still[D]

[Verse 7]
So [C]down to the water I [G]will come
[C]To wander through this
castle [G]on the sand
And [C]steal away before
the morning [C#dim]sun
Cause [A]I don't [D]need her love
to [C]love her all I [G]can
I don't [D]need her love to [C]love
her all [G]I can
[C][G][D][G][D]
