Verse 1:
[C]I stood alone, upon the platform in vain
Caug F
Puerto Ricans they were playing me salsa in the rain
With open doors and manual locks[C]
In fa[F]st food p[Fm]arking lot[C]s
[C]I headed West, I was a man on the move
Caug
New York had lied to me, I needed the truth
Oh, I need [F]somebody, needed someone I could trus[C]t
I don't g[Am]amble, but if I d[G]id I would b[F]et on u[C]s
Chorus:
[C]Like the Dead Sea
You told me I was like the De[F]ad Sea
You'll never sink when you are w[Am]ith me
Oh Lor[G]d, like the [F]Dead Se[C]a
[C]Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea
The nicest words you ever sai[F]d to me
Honey can't you se[Am]e,
I was born to[G] be, be your D[F]ead S[C]ea
Verse 2:
[C]You told me you were good at running away
Caug F
Domestic life, it never suited you like a suitcase
You left with just the clothes on your ba[C]ck
You to[F]ok the rest when [Fm]you took the [C]map
[C]Yes, there are times we live for somebody else
Caug
Your father died and you decided to live
It for yours[F]elf you felt, you just felt it was ti[C]me
And I'm gl[Am]ad, cause you with ca[G]ts, that's ju[F]st not ri[C]ght
Chorus:
[C]Like the Dead Sea
You told me I was like the De[F]ad Sea
You'll never sink when you are w[Am]ith me
Oh Lor[G]d, like the [F]Dead Se[C]a
[C]Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea
The finest words you ever sai[F]d to me
Honey can't you se[Am]e,
I was born to[G] be, be your D[F]ead S[C]ea
Bridge:
[Am]I been down, I been defeated
[F]You're the message I was heeding
[D]Would you stay,
[G]Would you stay the night?
Chorus:
[C]Dead Sea
You told me I was like the De[F]ad Sea
You'll never sink when you are w[Am]ith me
Oh Lor[G]d, I?m your [F]Dead Se[C]a
[C]Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea
The finest words you ever sai[F]d to me
Don?t need to move your feet so qu[Am]ickly,
Oh Lo[G]rd, I?m your D[F]ead S[C]ea.
