Note: In this song the chords could be 'incorrect' if you sing by
following the tone of the chords itself. Well, you got to sing
like Chris because in most parts of the vocals Chris sings as a
back-up vocal. Which means, the guitar plays low tune & Chris
sings a high tone. You can find that in the chorus. I tabbed the
the song using both bass & electric guitar from the song also.

Calling out from beneath the waves,

Beaten down by this ocean rain,

Like a light lit upon a beach,

Wear your heart on your sleeve,

Oh,

Note: About the chorus & intro, I still don't really know how to show
you guys the way of struming on some parts of the strings & in
the same time to change the chords. I guess you'll have to try
it out if you know the song very well.
