[verse1]
               G Cadd9 G        A                Em7 Cadd9 G
We spotted the ocean     at the head of the trail
A            Em7 Cadd9 G      D/F#      A  Asus4 A
where are we going,    that's so far away?
             G Cadd9 G    A               Em7 D/F# G
Now somebody told me      this is the place
A                  G/B Cadd9 G   D/F#             A   Asus4 A5
Where everything's better        and everything's safe


[chorus]
            Em7  D/F# G                  D       A
Walk on the ocean       Step on the stones
              Em7  D/F# G                   D     A
Flesh becomes water        Wood becomes bone


[verse2]
               G Cadd9 G        A                Em7 Cadd9 G
Half an hour later           we packed up our things
A                     Em7 Cadd9 G      D/F#             A  Asus4 A
Said we'd send letters,           and all of those little things
                          G Cadd9 G         A               Em7 D/F# G
And they knew we were lying,      but they smiled just the same
A                  G/B Cadd9 G   D/F#             A   Asus4 A5
It seemed they'd already         forgotten we came

[chorus]
same as above

[bridge]
just play the chords to the chorus
over four times

[verse3]
               G Cadd9 G        A                Em7 D/F# G
Back at the homestead, where the air makes you choke
    A                  G/B Cadd9 G   D/F#             A   Asus4 A
And people don't know you            and trust is a joke
                G Cadd9 G        A                Em7 D/F# G
Don't even have pictures, just memories to hold
          A            G/B Cadd9 G       D/F#             A
They grow sweeter each season      as we slowly grow old
