Tip: Play this very gently. Let the chords ring and sustain. A light fingerpicking pattern works beautifully here to capture the oceanic, flowing feel.
Lyrics & Chords
Full Song
Verse 1
C D
I’ve been watching you for some time
Em G
Can’t stop staring at those ocean eyes
C D
Burning cities and napalm skies
Em G
Fifteen flares inside those ocean eyes
Your ocean eyes
Chorus
C D Em
No fair, you really know how to make me cry
G
When you gimme those ocean eyes
C D Em
I’m scared, I’ve never fallen from quite this high
G C
Falling into your ocean eyes, those ocean eyes
Verse 2
C D
I’ve been walking through a world gone blind
Em G
Can’t stop thinking of your diamond mind
C D
Careful creature made friends with time
Em G
He left her lonely with a diamond mind
And those ocean eyes
