Gsus2 Em/D With a tear in His voice Gsus2 G He said, "Son, that's the question." Cadd9 Does this deafening silence Dsus4 mean nothing to no one but me? Interlude- it's pretty much this small motif followed by a G chord, repeated throughout this section. But I usually play it once and then use the chords I wrote out in the verse that follows the interlude.

Cadd9 G Gsus2 If I could find another thirty minutes somewhere Em/D I'm sure everything would find me Dsus4 All that's left is just to sing Chorus 2 G And I'll be here by the ocean Just waiting for proof that there's Em/D sunsets and silhouette dreams Cadd9 All my sand castles fall Gsus2 like the ashes of cigarettes Dsus4 Em/D Gsus2 And every waves drags me to sea G I could stand here for hours Just to ask God the question Em/D "Is everyone here make-believe?"
