G                        Bm
  When I see the faraway smiling faces
Em                       G
  When I feel the subtle pull of your graces
C                            Am
  When the sun is falling on magic places
       D
You're giving me hints of ecstasy

G                     Bm
  Every other day I'm frozen with worry
Em                     G
  Looking for a way to shed my own body
C                 Am
  But I know it's just like a jacket
  D
A layer of skin

[Chorus]

D#dim  Em            B7
           Though we wreck ourselves
       Am                     D
On the rocks that never even existed
Em          B7                     Am
    We just keep on going with the hate
                         D
We're going to have to resist it
                     C       G
Swimming in a sea of sorrow
                       C        G
Heading for a world of promise
                     C       G
Swimming in a sea of sorrow
                       C        G
Heading for a world of promise

[Verse 2]

G                     Bm
  Every other day I'm thinking about you
Em                       G
  Praying and beseeching you like a guru
C                         Am
  Heaven will protect and hold you in bliss
       D
I'm convinced of this
Em        D
  You are all things to all people

G                        Bm
  Words can be a vicious vessel of torment
Em                        G
  Words can be the simple comfort of moments
C                        Am
  Sending you the honest words that I'm storing
     D
Will stay with you in the night in the morning

[Chorus]

Em            B7
    Though we wreck ourselves
       Am                     D
On the rocks that never even existed
Em          B7                     Am
    We just keep on going with the hate
                         D
We're going to have to resist it
                     C        G
Swimming in a sea of comfort
                      C       G
Heading for a sea of sorrow
                     C        G
Swimming in a sea of comfort
                     C       G    N.C.
Heading for a sea of sorrow

Heading for a world of comfort
                     C       G
Swimming in a sea of sorrow
