Em7                             CYour (x32010@1)body may be gone, I'm gonna carry you in.

Bm (x24432@1)                          CIn (x32010@1)my head, in my heart, in my soul.

Em7                            CAnd (x32010@1)maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both live again.

Bm (x24432@1)                                     CWell (x32010@1)I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Don't think so.



Em7                 CWell (x32010@1)that is that and this is this.

G (320003@1)                    CYou (x32010@1)tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get.

Em7                 CYou (x32010@1)get away from me. You get away from me.

     Em7                  CWell (x32010@1)thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell.

G (320003@1)              CI (x32010@1)had to think awhile. I had to think awhile.





Em7                   CThe (x32010@1)ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in?

Bm (x24432@1)                  CIn (x32010@1)your head, in your mouth, in your soul.

Em7                   CAnd (x32010@1)maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both grow old.

Bm (x24432@1)                  CWell (x32010@1)I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I hope so.
