E
I can barely wait to get a hold on you
         D                A      E
I wanna feel the one who has my love
E
Always come a runnin' when you want me to
Bm           A      E
I put no one else above
Bm             A      E
Only one I'm dreaming of

Your sugar coated love has got a hold on me
You know you do it to me every time
Got me seeing colors that I never could see
Now I got a one track mind

Chorus:
C#m                 E
Rivers run into the ocean
C#m                   E
Oceans run into the blue
 A                        C#m
Look around at all the commotion
        B               A         E
Then I walk across the water for you

Clown around forever in the summer time
Down around the deep blue sea
Me and you together for the longest ride
From here to eternity
Feels just like a dream to me

Chorus:
C#m                 E
Rivers run into the ocean
C#m                   E
Oceans run into the blue
 A                        C#m
Look around at all the commotion
        B               A         C#m
Then I walk across the water for you
        B               A         E
Then I walk across the water for you
