The Sea"
[Verse 1]
C Em Dm C
I never knew you were standing on the shore,
Dm
It says everything,
G
Explains everything.
C Em Dm C
Then from then on it couldn't be just like before,
Dm
it says everything,
G
Changes everything.
Am Dm G
So don't you stand there wishing your life would fade away
Am Dm Am Dm G
And don't you go around with anyone who makes you feel ashamed.
[Chorus]
C Bm
Goodbye paradise,
G F
I hope there's something you could try
C
Goodbye
G Am C F
You're so changed that you'd give it all away
Dm
Goodbye,
Bb
Goodbye

They make you feel ashamed
