Taken By the Sea Chords & Lyrics by Darren Hayes
Taken By the Sea
guitar chords lyrics
I play this with the capo on the 4th fret. I worked it out just messing around.
I don't promise there are no mistakes, so feel free to leave corrections in the
comments, but it does work to sing to, even if it isn't perfect.
G Em
Love, lay me down slay me with whispers
D
Reassure me that it's alright
G Em
I, I hit the deck, I hit rock bottom
D
But you saw me, then you caught me
C Em
Shining like a ray of hope swift like a turning sea
D
Angel to comfort me
C
Cradling my head in your hands
D G Em
I looked up at the sun and the fog cleared,
D
I saw you
C D G Em
And I want you and that's so terrifying
C D G Em
And I want you to help put out the fire
Em
Cause I am an island, you are the ocean
D G Em
And all of my sadness taken by the sea
G Em
Fall, I took a fall. I took it easy
D
On the surface I was perfect
G Em
But down, way down below, I started believing
D
I deserved it. Was I worthless?
C
Sinking like a rescue boat
Em
Washing right over me
D
Vessel is struggling
C
Waving both my hands in the air
D G
Then the blindness of love
Em D
Then your arms all around me
C D G Em
And I want you and that's so terrifying
C D G Em
And I want you to help put out the fire
Em
Cause I am an island, you are the ocean
D G Em
And all of my sadness taken by the sea
C G
And I want so much to believe
C Em
That I won't disappear in the water
C Em
That I won't always be swimming against the tide
C D G Em
And I want you and that's so terrifying
C D G Em
And I want you to help put out the fire
Em
Cause I am an island, you are the ocean
D G Em
And all of my sadness taken by the sea
