Dead Sea

C
I stood alone upon the platform in vain
Am7M                                                        F
The puerto ricans they were playing their salsa in the rain
                                C
With open doors and manual locks
      F        Fm        C
In fast food parking lots
C
I headed west I was a man on the move
Am7M
New York it lied to me I needed the truth
       F                                        C
Oh, I need somebody, I need someone I could trust
             Am             G      F         C
And I don't gamble, but if I did I would bet on us

C
Like the dead sea
                            F
You told me I was like the dead sea
                               Am
You'll never sink when you are with me
      G        F          C
Oh Lord, like the dead sea
C
Woah I'm like the dead sea
                              F
The finest words you ever said to me
                    Am
Honey can't you see
                 G       F         C
I was born to be, be your dead sea

C
You told me you were good at runnin' away
Am7M                                         F
Domestic life it never suited you like a suitcase
                                       C
You left with just the clothes on your back
        F        Fm                 C
They took the rest when you took a nap
C
Yes, there are times we live for somebody else
Am7M
Your father died
                                    F
And you decided to live it for yourself, you felt
                      C
You just felt it was time
        Am    G                  F
And I'm glad, 'cause you with cats
             C
That's just not right

C
Like the dead sea
                             F
You told me I was like the dead sea
                                Am
You'll never sink when you are with me
       G         F       C
Oh Lord, I'm your dead sea
C
Woah I'm like the dead sea
                            F
The nicest words you ever said to me
                    Am
Honey can't you see
                 G        F       C
I was born to be, be your dead sea

Am
I been down, I been defeated
F
You're the message I will heed it
Dm
Would you stay with me
                     G
Would you stay the night

Oohh
