D A Csus2
i need a new song , shift it all around , like the ocean
G
when the riptide gets you down
D A Csus2
take some , from the ones you love , in the old town
G
when the riptide gets you down

D
sing i can still breathe i can still walk
A
i can still see children walking up the dock
D7 G
i remember when i carved my name into this cedar tree
D
sing while i’m walking sammys on the rocks
A
with a new reel flashing casting as he talks
D7
he came home from the city
G
when they choked out all of his dreams

Gm D
and i guess you could say that this is me
Gm D
and i guess that these folks are the only ones i believe

Em G A
everywhere i go i’m going to the ocean
Em G A
every river flows into the ocean
Em G A
the water in my soul is going to the ocean
Em G A
i sing the great unknown i’m singing to the ocean

D
sing i can still breathe i can still walk
A
i can still see children walking up the dock
D7 G
i remember when i carved my name into this cedar tree
D
sing while i’m walking sammys on the rocks
A
with a new reel flashing casting as he talks
D7
he came home from the city
G
when they choked out all of his dreams

D A Csus2
i need a new song , shift it all around , like the ocean
G
when the riptide gets you down
D A Csus2
take some , from the ones you love , in the old town
G
when the riptide gets you down
