VERSE 1

In the

grey senseless midnight

Cadd9

C

The pin drop lull which

Cadd9

seals our

F

gain

Bb

Motionless with

C

you

VERSE 2

A

dreamworld

C

fright

Deep even breathing

Motionless with

you

CHORUS 1

And then it

Am

pours through the window

Am

All white and pulseless

F/A

and

as

Em

Bright as Saharan sun

And to our

Am

strained squinting mumbles

Am

An inhuman rumble

Dm/A

says no

G

stable

F

For unbroken

C

ones

VERSE 3

I

C

gave up disaster

Cadd9

C

Burned off clouds of doubt that

Cadd9

I might

F

shine

Bb

Oceanheart for

C

you

Cadd9

VERSE 4

I

C

gave up the hungers

Cadd9

without

C

name

Schooled on a leash as

Cadd9

decoy

F

pain

Bb

Oceanheart for

C

you

Cadd9

CHORUS 2

And though my

Am

past still speaks through me

Am

It paralyses

F/A

me

and

Em

Makes my self-hate entire

Your

Am

smile is the standard

Am

The measure of

Dm/A

forever

Until

G

when we’ll

F

be unbroken

C

ones

Oceanheart,

Oceanheart

We’re

bound for joy not shame

Through

dreams we have which cause just pain

Through

shortloved

hearts

Which

G

beat and clung to life in vain

VERSE 5

In the

C

day or in my mind’s time

Each loss I last can be

Cadd9

only
