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 Every other day I'm frozen with worry Looking for a way to shed my own body But I know it's just like a jacket 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 Every other day, I'm thinking about you Praying and beseeching you like a guru Heaven will protect and hold you in bliss, I'm convinced of this You are all things to all people Words can be a vicious vessel of torment Words can be the simple comfort of moments Sending you the honest words that I'm storing 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 Heading for a sea of sorrow Though we wreck ourselves On the rocks that never even existed We just keep on going with the hate We're going to have to resist it Swimming in a sea of sorrow Heading for a world of promise Swimming in a sea of sorrow Heading for a world of promise Swimming in a sea of sorrow Heading for a world of comfort Swimming in a sea of sorrow Heading to a world of comfort You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  B7  Bm  C  D  D#dim  Em  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
