[Intro]
Dm F
Dm F
[Verse 1]
Dm F
And I held the breath inside my lungs for days
Dm F
And I saw myself as one of many waves
A# Gm F Dm F
When I knew that I'd become the ocean's slave I just stayed
Dm F
And we carried forward all the water's past
Dm F
Of the waves I was not first I was not last
A# Gm F Dm D7
If we saw a boat afloat we'd take the mast, so fast
[Chorus 1]
A# F C
Where's a part of it that I miss
A# F A
At the heart of it your cold kiss
A# F C
From the start of it I know this
A#
Oh where's the part of it
[Interlude]
(chords over the solo)
Dm F
Dm F
A# Gm F Dm F
[Verse 2]
Dm F
And before too long the waves grew out of hand
Dm F
And they worked to keep the sea at their command
A# Gm F Dm D7
And the only thing they feared it seemed the sand, the dry land
[Chorus 2]
A# F C
There's a part of it that I miss
A# F A
At the heart of it your cold kiss
A# F C
From the start of it I know this
A#
Oh where's the part of it
[Interlude]
(chords over choir section)
Dm F A# Gm F A
Dm F A# Gm F A
Dm F
Dm F
[Verse 3]
Dm F
From the water there was born a bright blue roar
Dm F
As it rolled and formed and calmed the ocean's floor
A# Gm F Dm D7
And then it finally rose and broke upon the shore no more
[Chorus 3]
A# F C
There's a part of it that I miss
A# F A
At the heart of it your cold kiss
A# F C
From the start of it I know this
A#
Oh where's the part of it
A# F C
There's a part of it that I miss
A# F A
At the heart of it your cold kiss
A# F C
From the start of it I know this
A#
Oh where's the part of it
A#
Oh where's the part of it
Dm F
