Intro -x4-: Em  D  C

Verse:
     Em          D               C
Your body may be gone, I'm gonna carry you in
      Em          D              C
In my head, in my heart, in my soul
    Em              D               C
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both live again
             Em                  D                     C
Well I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, don't think so

Chorus:
     C                  G 
Well that is that and this is this
    Am                              G 
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
         C           G            Am           G 
You get away from me.  You get away from me
   C                          G 
Collected my belongings and I left the jail
     Am                                G 
Well thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell
         C            G            Am
I had to think awhile.  I had to think awhile

Instrumental -x4-: Em  D  C

Verse:
    Em             D                C
The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in?
        Em            D                 C
In your head, in your mouth, in your soul
    C                G                Am             G 
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both grow old
             C                   G                 Am        G 
Well I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I hope so

Chorus:
     C                  G 
Well that is that and this is this
    Am                              G 
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
         C           G            Am           G 
You get away from me.  You get away from me
   C                          G 
Collected my belongings and I left the jail
     Am                                G 
Well thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell
         C            G            Am            G 
I had to think awhile.  I had to think awhile
     C                  G 
Well that is that and this is this
         Am                             G 
Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed
         C        G         Am G 
When the ocean met the sky
G                 C                   G                      Am G 
You missed when time and life sHook hands and said goodbye
G          C            G            Am G 
When the Earth folded in on itself
                 C
And said "Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell

Are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath."

You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?

You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?

Instrumental:
   Em  D  G 
   Em  D  G    Gmaj7  
   Em  D  G 
   Em  D  G    Gmaj7  

Verse:
    Em             D                G 
The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in?
        Em            D                 G   Gmaj7  
In your head, in your mouth, in your soul
    Em            D                   G 
The more we move ahead the more we're stuck in rewind
             Em                  D                  C
Well I don't mind, I don't mind, how the hell could I mind?

Chorus:
     C                  G 
Well that is that and this is this
    Am                              G 
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
         C           G            Am           G 
You get away from me.  You get away from me
     C                  G 
Well that is that and this is this
         Am                             G 
Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed
         C        G         Am G 
When the ocean met the sky
G            C                      G                  C
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste the afterlife?
