Dover Beach

Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
C   C   C
 
 
[Verse 1]
         C
On the coastline, in the water
        C
Your mirage is like a stalker
          C
I should push him off the cliffside
            C                          F
Cause he's coloring my insides ocean blue
    F                         F
And everywhere I look, I look at you
       F
It's true
 
 
[Verse 2]
       C                    C
Up in my imagination, I rehearse our conversations
         C
And at least I'm never lonely
       C                           F
Even though I know you're only in my mind
      F                           F
And there's no point in covering my eyes
            N.C.
Even when I try
 
 
[Chorus]
              C
I hear your voice over and over
        C
Sitting on the beach of Dover
         C
What is happening, oh, dear?
        C
I keep wishing you were here
         F
And I swear, I'm gonna lose it
       F
If I keep playing your music
         F
But what else is there to do?
       F                      C
Everywhere I look I just see you
 
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
       C
In my self made isolation,
          C
You're my only inspiration
          C
When the mirror says I'm ugly
       C                         F
And if anybody loves me, it's a lie
     F
And right before I'm swallowed
    F                         N.C.
By my mind and cursing at the sky
 
 
[Chorus]
              C
I hear your voice over and over
        C
Sitting on the beach of Dover
         C
What is happening, oh, dear?
        C
I keep wishing you were here
         F
And I swear, I'm gonna lose it
       F
If I keep playing your music
         F
But what else is there to do?
       F                      C
Everywhere I look I just see you
 
 
[Chorus 2]
C              C
It's deep red,   my broken dream
C               C
My last breath,   the king and queen
F               F
The world ends,   it's you and me
F            F
In my head, if we can be together
                    C
Maybe we'll live forever
 
 
[Bridge]
 C              Dm
Sand between my toes
          C
I've got vertigo
Dm              C
I'm afraid of heights
      Dm
If I could I'd cry
 C                           F
We've got incompatible star signs
 
I'm in love with you
  F                                 F
What's the point in looking at the view?
                   N.C.
Cause every time I do
N.C.
I just see you
N.C
I just see you
 
 
[Chorus 2]
C              C
It's deep red,   my broken dream
C               C
My last breath,   the king and queen
F               F
The world ends,   it's you and me
F            F
In my head, if we can be together
                    C
Maybe we'll live forever
 
 
[Outro]
   C
I met your ghost, he followed me
      C
Down to the coast of Dover Beach
   C
I talk to you in poetry
      C
You stole the view of Dover Beach
   F
I met your ghost, he followed me
      F
Down to the coast of Dover Beach
      F
I scream at you in poetry
      F
You stole the view of Dover Beach
