Sea Me

©2017 Garrett Clevenger

 

C        I guess I'll go home          to where I come from

G       though, you know,            I don't wanna go.

Am    Here on the coast.             Bein’ all alone

G       with the waves                  that pound as they flow.

 

C        The sea water smells        like it’s full of life.

G       The half moon glows       a crescent light.

Am    The footsteps I leave        fade from my sight

G       as I walk down                 the shore on this night.

 

Dm    C  Dm          The ocean says,                 “Stay with me.

Dm    C  Dm          I haven’t seen you and there’s so much at sea.

C  Dm  C  Dm       There’s no need to go.            Feel my flow.”

Am        G             Sea               me.

 

C        The shoreline reminds me          how fleetin’ it is.

G       What’s here this moment           the next you'll just miss.

Am    Each wave makes waves            that makes waves that changes

G       the shape of the space                 where the wave once existed.

 

C        With the right force                    the changes are great.

G       Each step we take                        gives us more fate.

Am    It only lasts by                             the waves we create,

G       whether in dreamland                 or staying up late.

 

Dm    C  Dm          The ocean says,                 “Learn from me

Dm    C  Dm          I’ve been here awhile            and there’s so much to see.

C  Dm  C  Dm       There’s no need to go.            Feel my flow. ”

Am        G             Sea               me.

 

C        The ripplin’ waves                      shape all we see.

G       The waves bounce through            eternity.

Am    A part of you is                           a part of the spree.

G       These words disappear.              The thought still will be.

                    

Dm    C  Dm          The ocean says,                 “I am the sea

Dm    C  Dm          Not even I know               my mystery.

C  Dm  C  Dm       There’s no need to go.            Feel my flow. ”

Am        G             Sea               me.

 

Overlapping harmonies:

C        Sea me right now.  Sea me around.

           (What’s the price you’re worth on planet Earth?)

(Sea me.)

G       Sea me in blue.      Sea me in you.

           (Are we willing to pay     to keep you today?)

(Sea me.)

Am    Sea me I say.          Sea me all day.

           (What would we do          without you?)

(Sea me.)

G       Sea me for free.      Sea me easy.

           (Where would we be        without the sea?)

(Sea me.)
