[Intro:]
A5  A5  F5  F5
D5       D5  F5

  A5           A5           F5              F5
I climbed up a mountain, and looked off the edge
   D5                  D5 F5
At all of the lives that I never have led
        A5          A5             F5          F5
There's one where I stayed with you across the sea,
  D5                        D5 F5
I wonder: do you still think of me?

  A5         A5     F5          F5
I carry your image always in my head,
D5                  D5 F5
Folded and yellowed and torn at the edge.
     A5          A5        F5       F5
And I've looked upon it for so many years.
D5                  D5 F5
Slowly I am losing your face

[Chorus:]
A5      C5              D5    F5
Oh, the ocean rolls us away, away,
A5        C5              D5       F5
away. The ocean rolls us away...

A5        A5       F5            F5
Sixes and sevens, we live on jet planes.
D5          D5 F5
So many faces I don't know the names.
 A5     A5             F5            F5
So many friends now and none of them mine
D5                  D5 F5
Forgotten as soon as we meet.

A5           A5         F5       F5
All of these moments are lost in time,
D5                          D5 F5
You're caught in my head like a thorn on a vine.
      A5      A5         F5        F5
To forever torment me and I wonder: Why do I 
D5                      D5 F5
wish I'd never known you at all

[Chorus x2:]
A5      C5              D5    F5
Oh, the ocean rolls us away, away,
A5        C5              D5       F5
away. The ocean rolls us away...

[Bridge:]
A5   
The sun and the moon in an
F5
An ocean of air.
D5              D5
So many voices, but
F5
nothing is there, but the
C5                D5        A5
The ghost of you asking me why,
          D5       D5 F5   
Why did I leave?

[Chorus]
A5      C5              D5    F5
Oh, the ocean rolls us away, away,
A5    C5                          D5       E5
and I lose your hand through the waves.
