Verse 1
Cadd9 G Gsus2 Em/DAnd honestly, I have been begging for answers
Dsus4 Cadd9That you and only you can give to me
G Gsus2 Em/DA voice crying loud I've been crying for days now
Dsus4 Cadd9And as I start to run, I stop to breathe
(And I was nearly scared to death)
G Gsus2And I was nearly scared to death
Em/D(Why you left in paragraphs)
Dsus4Why you left in paragraphs
Cadd9(The words were nearly over us)
G Gsus2The words were nearly over us
Em/D Dsus4You stop and turn and grab your bags
Chorus
GAnd I'll be here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's
Cadd9sunsets and silhouette dreams
Gsus2 Em/D All my sand castles fall
Gsus2 Glike the ashes of cigarettes
Cadd9 Gsus2And every wave drags me to sea
GI could stand here for hours
Just to ask God the question
Cadd9"Is everyone here make-believe?"
Gsus2 Em/D With a tear in His voice
Gsus2 GHe said, "Son, that's the question."
Cadd9Does this deafening silence
Dsus4mean nothing to no one but me?
Interlude- it's pretty much this small motif followed by a G chord, repeated throughout this section. But I usually play it once and then use the chords I wrote out in the verse that follows the interlude.

Cadd9 Gsus2 Cadd9As hours move to minutes
G Gsus2And minutes take longer to break
Cadd9I will be desperately awaiting
G Gsus2But my tongue won't fall apart
Cadd9And we've been sitting here for hours
G Gsus2All alone and in the dark
Cadd9 G Gsus2 So let me think of to word it
Em/D Dsus4 Is it too soon to say 'perfect'?
Cadd9 G Gsus2 If I could find another thirty minutes somewhere
Em/DI'm sure everything would find me
Dsus4All that's left is just to sing

Just to ask God the question

Dsus4Does this deafening silence
mean nothing to no one but me? Bridge
Cadd9 GAnd you'll sing to me sweet until then
