[Intro]
Am    Dm    x6

[Verse 1]
Am     Dm        G 
I, once upon a time
Gm         C        D  
Carried a burden inside
    Dm              C  
(I) sung a last goodbye
  Dm     C         G    Bb   
A broken rhyme I'd underlined
           C        A7        Dm G
There's an ocean of sorrow in you
     Dm  G    Bb
A sorrow in me

[Verse 2]
Am          Dm                G 
(I) saw a movement in their eyes
Gm         C              D  
Said I no longer knew the way
      Dm            C   
(I'd) given up the ghost
  Dm      C       G      Bb  
A passive mind submit to fear
        C          A7          Dm  G
And the wait for redemption at hand
    Dm  G     Bb D
Waiting to fail

[Organ Solo]
Dm  C   x8
Dm  G   Bb  A
         Dm  G
Failing again

[Verse 3]
Am      Dm               G 
If death should take me now
Gm              C            D      
Count my mistakes and let me through
Dm            C  
Whisper in my ear
       Dm    C         G       Bb    
You've taken more than we've received
        C        A7       
And the ocean of sorrow is

[Aah-aah section]
Dm  BbGm
you...
Dm  Bb  Gm  A7  x3
