       C#
Not an ocean, not a mountain
       F#
Not an earthquake, and not a storm
            A#m
I think it stopped me,
                 G#
from wanting to hold you and keep you warm

When I close my eyes I see your face
Everytime your smile lights up the place
Make me believe that love was real
Imma tell you how I feel

Chorus:
       C#                          F#
Throw myself in the ocean cuz I'm love sunk over you
        A#m
Sail my heart straight into you
               G#
Cuz you're the reason I'm breathing
Throw my love in the ocean
Sail my heart straight into you
And girl I'm love sunk over you
Cuz you're the reason I'm breathing
Oh oh oh eh eh

When I close my eyes I see your face
Everytime your smile lights up the place
Make me believe that love was real
Imma tell you how I feel

Baby you should know how much I (think of you)
How much I (dream of you)
I need you, I need you
Baby you should know how much I (think of you)
How much I (dream of you)
I need you, I need you

Chorus

I'm jamming in your loving girl
never coming back to show you
Oooh ooh oh oh
Stay reality, Now please believe me, oh

Chorus
