In parallel sea what would I be?

My first love said to me,

"Tears out for the world to see"
           F
I would not be
                 C           F
I did not see the chinaberry tree
                    C
Tears out, it would feel so

Heavenly, heavenly, heavenly
Em
Hard now to picture a me
    C
Without a you, without a you

So that I could not sleep

My whole being was falling apart

So that I soon cried out,

"Dear friends, hold me!"
