Lumineers - Dead Sea

tabbed by toph the animator

C E7
i stood alone , upon the platform in vain

F
puerto ricans they were playing me salsa in the rain
C
with open doors and manual locks
F G F C
in fast food parking lots

C E7
i headed west , i was a man on the move

new york had lied to me , i needed the truth
F C
oh , i need somebody , needed someone i could trust
F G F C
i don’t gamble , but if i did i would bet on us

( chorus )

C
like the dead sea
F
you told me i was like the dead sea
Am
you’ll never sink when you are with me
G F C
oh lord , like the dead sea
C
whoa , i’m like the dead sea
F
the nicest words you ever said to me
Am
honey can’t you see ,
G F C
i was born to be , be your dead sea

you told me you were good at running away
domestic life , it never suited you like a suitcase
you left with just the clothes on your back
you took the rest when you took the map

yes , there are times we live for somebody else
your father died and you decided to live
it for yourself you felt , you just felt it was time
and i’m glad , cause you with cats , that’s just not right

( chorus )

i been down , i been defeated
you’re the message i was heeding
would you stay ,
would you stay the night?

dead sea ,
told me i was like the dead sea
never sink when you are with me
oh lord , i’m your dead sea

whoa , i’m like the dead sea
the finest words you ever said to me
no need to move your feet so quickly
oh lord , i’m your dead sea
