verse (G, Em, D/F#, D7/A)
how will i find you when i'm lost
and the day to day is all i've got?
in this ocean of our lives
waiting for the ebb and flow to die
chorus (C, Bm7, G, G7, C, Bm, Am, D)
hey, hey
no i don't understand the reasons why
hey, hey
but maybe I'm not meant to
no maybe I'm not meant to
(D7inv)
verse
oh say, oh pay me twice
once for my time, second for my strife
so i can swim again
without the weight of you around my neck
chorus
hey, hey
no i don't understand the reasons why
hey, hey
but maybe i'm not meant to
no maybe i'm not meant to know...
(D7inv)
bridge (Em, EmM7/D#, G/D, C#7b5, Am, Am, D, D)
...the lady who walks to the shore
of a great blue sea that she's seen before
but doesn't know
while her baby trails by a hand
her great blue eyes fixed upon the sand
between her toes
oh who are we ever to know?
verse
the jack of hearts can't be played
until i make a motherfucking change
chorus
hey, hey
no i don't understand the reasons why
hey
but maybe i'm not meant to
no maybe we're not meant to know...
(D7inv)
bridge
...the simplest of things make their way
through the synapses of our pain
