Ancient Rolling Sea

Dm

Dm
You know you can take a swing at me
C
F
C
See if it does you any good
Dm
It's a jungle out there, honey
C
F
There are diamonds in the mud
Dm
C
G
So I watch the snow come down and think I'm moving on
Dm
C
G
It only takes an hour for the heat of the sun
Dm
C
G
To come and change the landscape, leave you feeling like a fool
Dm
C
G
Any given morning could be joyous or cruel
Dm
But I'm by your side, by your side
F
I'll always be by your side But I'm by your side, by your side
F
I'll always be by your side You got your battles and they rage like An ancient rolling sea Over and over, I tried to understand I think I'm getting there finally Up on the surface it always looks kinda calm But you know you don't have to be lost or alone Just take as much time as you need to decide Just try and remember that we're always by your side But I'm by your side, by your side I'll always be by your side But I'm by your side, by your side I'll always be by your side

And in the middle of the night, call if you wanna talk
C
G

Because you know that I want to talk too
G
Am
F
It's not bad of you to think of what might go wrong
C
G
Am
F
But you can't blame me for secretly hoping that I'll prove you wrong
C
G
Am
F
It's OK that I pray that you will miss your flight
C

And have to stay with me another night
F

It's brutal it's brutal, why can't you see?

It's brutal it's brutal, where have you been?

You pulled me out of the dark and now it's light

When we are out in the market and out on the streets
C

Am
F
I've got a pocket full of problems and a pocket full of seeds
C
G
Am
F
Hoping something good might grow out of this mistletoe
G
C
And I won't have to erase your memory
G
Am
F
I like the way that our arguments stop when we fall asleep
C
G
Am
F
And the way that your body feels when it's wrapped around me
C
G
Am
F
And I'd like it if you made it to mine by Christmas Eve
G
C
F
G
C
So you can hold me and we'll watch Christmas TV It's brutal it's brutal, why can't you see? It's brutal it's brutal, where have you been? 'Cause we're far apart and my lonely heart Finds it hard to get through the night You pulled me out of the dark and now it's light You pulled me out of the dark and now it's light
C
G
So come on home
Am
F
Just come on home
C
G
So come on home

Love has lost it's meaning it was wasted on us In the electrical storm you were running wild You had a death wish you were a child I came to baring a lightning bolt If you came back as the deep sea I would come back as the salt
F

It's like your head is stuck in a tightening vice
Em

Your ears are deaf to your friend's advice

It doesn't always have to be beautiful
Am

C/g
Unless it's beautiful OK, leave now, leave now if you just can't stay 'Cause there's nothing worse than somebody who pretended away The years of their youth they will never get back So I'll go home and practice the traits you said I lack Like listening to the thunder of your heart And how that every other beat we grow further apart Love was always gonna be hard to give up But I'm thinking that you'll never love anybody else as much But it's ugly it's ugly now, yeah I know But you never give things enough time to grow It's like driving through a carnival It doesn't always have to be beautiful Unless it's beautiful

Baby I know it's over, tell me, till your sober now, we know it's true
