[Main riff - 4x, verse 1
A G
We're bobbing on the surface
D A
And the shadow glides below
They say she feels my heartbeat
G D A
Oh, but how, I'll never know
[repeat verse]
G D A
That it's the ocean flowing in our veins
G D A
Oh, that it's the salt that's in our tears
G D A
Oh, 'cause we could have come so very far
G D E
Oh, in at least as many years
D C A [fill riff 1, 2x]
Take the highway through the great divide
D C E
Take the highway through the great divide
A G
I'm building you a pyramid
D A
With limestone blocks so large
I drag them from the mountaintop
G D
You'll need a, a two-car garage
[repeat verse]
G D A [fill riff 2]
And it's the ocean flowing in our veins
