The Sea And The Shore

G C G C

[His Verse]
G C G
Said the sea and the shore and the evening tide came in
G C G
I'm here to tell you tales of where I've been
D C G
In the shells I whispered my love songs and secret rhymes
D C G
And Left them at your door for you to find
D C G
Tempered the force of my waves when your gods would roar
D C G
Took care of the ships full of men that you sent off to war
C D G
I've long for you so long, said the sea to the shore

[Her Verse]
G C G
Said the shore to the sea, you left me here to long
G C G
And I was promised to the moon while you were gone
D C G
He waited until the brightest night
D C G
To demand my hand under his fullest night
D C G
And promised he'll always stay and watch over me
C D G
Oh why did you wait till now, said the shore to the sea

[His Verse]
G C G
Said the sea to the shore, I swore that I'd return
G C G
And here I am with all that I have learned
D C G
I can hold you now with arms of foam and spray
D C G
Touching you the coming of dusk and the breaking of day
D C G
Smoothing out the fold on every stone
C D G
Said the sea to the shore, don't leave me here alone

[Her Verse]
G C G
Said the shore to the sea, you said all these things before
G C G
And I tell you, I can't hear them anymore
D C G
Oh, there was a time once I had given in
D C G
And hear your savage white caps rolling in
D C G
Your truffs would come up slow beneath my chin
D C G
Your mist would kiss me softly on my skin
D C G
Leaving salty trails where you had been
D C G
My legs would give out in your undertow
C D G
Oh but sea, that was a long, long time ago

[Both Verse]
G C G
So the sea took one last look and turned away
G C G
And the shore was more than strong enough to stay
D C G
Castles melted back into the sand
D C G
Drift wood drifted up to the land
D C G
Rocks rose a proud and shiny skin
C D G
Shells began their gossiping again.
