"The Sea"
Corinne Bailey Rae

C       G/B             Am         
I never knew you were standing on the shore,
        Dm7
It says everything,
         G7
Explains everything.
C              G/B            Am           C7
Then from then on it couldn't be just like before,
       Dm7
it says everything,
       G7
Changes everything.
             Dm7                                       G7
So don't you stand there wishing your life would fade away
                             Dm7                        G7
And don't you go around with anyone who makes you feel ashamed.


[Chorus]

C       G/B
Goodbye paradise,
G                                  F
I hope there's something you could try
C                 G/B                C7           F    (E)
Goodbye you're so changed that you'd give it all away
     Dm         Bb      C--->verse 2
Goodbye,   Goodbye
    

[Verse 2]
    
C      G/B               Am          
             I saw your face in the faded light,
Dm7
Said everything,
          G7
Explained everything.
C                  G/B          Am              C7
It haunts all your days and it comes to you at night,
Dm7       
You did everything,
       G7
Blame anything.
              Dm7                                 G7
But don't you cut those ribbons to take away the pain
                                 Dm7         
And don't you go round with that same old crowd,
                    G7
They make you feel ashamed

[Chorus]

C       G/B
Goodbye paradise,
G                                  F
I hope there's something you could try
C                 G/B                C7           F    (E)
Goodbye you're so changed that you'd give it all away
     Dm         Bb          C--->Instrumental
Goodbye,   Goodbye      Paradise

The sea,

The majestic sea,

Crushes everything

Cleans everything,

Takes everything
