Just A Wave

(início)

C
Thirst is not the answer, oceans come and go
F
I loved her seven seas worth, Lord I loved her so
C                             G
But she let me down so easy, one slow drop at a time
C
I would've killed myself but it made no sense
F
Committing suicide in self defense
C                     F
But I lost everything I brought her
               G                                        C
When she said babe, you're just a wave, you're not the water
C
Centuries ago we were living on the Gold Coast
F
She was still in love with a long, gone, cold ghost
C                                              G
I was only trying to turn back the tide of her tears
                C
I felt like an endless ocean, rolling through the fog
F
Full emotion drifting like a weather beaten log
       C                  F
I even thought that I out-thought her
               G                                        C
Till she said babe, you're just a wave, you're not the water
C
I said someday we'll love again, then you'll know the score
F
I've taught you everything I know and maybe even more
        C                                 G
That's true she said, more than you ever will
C
I've said I've been your raging river, precious African queen
F
I've shown you everything that I've ever seen
         C                    F
But she knew more than I had taught her
              G                                         C
When she said babe, you're just a wave, you're not the water
     C
Well I followed her far and wide with all of my will
F
Water on the move, you know it never stands still
      C                                            G
And I moved every muscle, just to prove it can be done
     C
Then up some old sad river, where snow white lilies float
F
I came to her for mercy, but I hardly rocked the boat
C                                F
She seemed surprised that I have caught her
              G                                         C
But she said babe, you're just a wave, you're not the water
          G                                        C
She said babe, you're just a wave, you're not the water
