Song: Breakers Roar
Artist: Sturgill Simpson
Album: A Sailor's Guide to Earth
Tabbed/Chorded By: ultimatelefty
I think this album's already put itself on to many end of the year lists, and maybe even retrospective lists
in the future! I read a 10/10 review for the album and figured now's a good time to get into Sturgill,
and personally at this point I can't get enough of the album! So hear's Breakers Roar, hope you all enjoy it!

[Verse 1]
D D/C# Bm
Oh, how the breakers roar
D D/C# Bm
They keep pulling me farther from shore
D D/C# Bm
Thoughts turn to a love so kind
D D/C# Bm
Just to keep me from losing my mind
A
So enticing, deep dark seas
G Bm A
It's so easy to drown in the dream
[Verse 2]
D D/C# Bm
Oh, and everything is not what it seems
D D/C# Bm
This life is but a dream
D D/C# Bm
Shatter illusions that hold your spirit down
D D/C# Bm
Open up your heart and you'll find love all around
A G
Breathing and moving are healing
A
And soothing away
Bm A
All the pain in life holding you down

Oh, I'm telling you it's all a dream
D D/C# Bm
It's all a dream
D D/C# Bm
It's all a dream
D D/C# Bm
It's all a dream
D D/C# Bm
It's all a...

It's all a dream
