[G#m] [B] [E] [B]
[Verse 1]
[G#m] [B] [E]
We were [B]talking on a [G#m]boardwalk
We were lit [B]up when the lights came [E]down
So we [B]drifted toward the [G#m]music
And you [B]kissed me as the soun[E]d
Of my favo[B]rite band was play[G#m]ing
But I couldn't [B]hear them 'cause my [E]heart
Was beatin' l[B]oud and out a rhy[G#m]thm
As you dr[B]owned out all the [E]dark
[Chorus]
I was a [B]boat trapped in a [G#m]bottle
Dying for [F#]water
You were the [E]ocean
I was a [B]compass that couldn't find h[G#m]eaven
I didn't [F#]know how bad I was [E]broken
I was [B]castaway with no [G#m]land
I drew a [F#]broken heart in the [E]sand
And you were the [B]wave the wave the [G#m]wave
That [F#]washed it all
That [E]washed it all aw[B]ay
[Instrumental]
[B] [G#m] [B] [E]
[Verse 2]
We talk[B]ed for a couple of [G#m]hours
We got [B]salt all over our [E]jeans
And we [B]laughed about for[G#m]ever
What the [B]hell did that really mea[E]n
And all of a sudd[B]en thanks to yo[G#m]u
My favo[B]rite color is [E]blue
I [B]never saw you co[G#m]ming
Sweet sal[F#]vation and I never kn[E]ew
[Chorus]
I was a [B]boat trapped in a [G#m]bottle
Dying for [F#]water
You were the [E]ocean
I was a [B]compass that couldn't find h[G#m]eaven
I didn't [F#]know how bad I was [E]broken
I was [B]castaway with no [G#m]land
I drew a [F#]broken heart in the [E]sand
And you were the [B]wave the wave the [G#m]wave
That [F#]washed it all
That [E]washed it all away[B][G#m][F#][E][B][G#m][F#][E]
[Bridge]
I was a [B]town closed for wint[G#m]er
I was a Fer[B]ris wheel with the light burnt out
'Til you came along,[G#m] when you came a[B]long[E]
[Chorus]
I was a [B]boat trapped in a [G#m]bottle
Dying for [B]water
You were the [E]ocean
I was a [B]compass that couldn't find h[G#m]eaven
I didn't [B]know how bad I was broken
I was[B] castaway with no[G#m] land
I drew a [F#]broken heart in the [E]sand
That [F#]washed it all
That [E]washed it all away[B][G#m][F#]
Yeah you [E]washed it all away[B][G#m][F#][E]
You were the [B]wave the wave the [G#m]wave[F#]
Yeah that [E]washed it all [B]away[G#m][F#][E]
