Oceans Teclado

	  
Am 
I learned to let go when I was younger 
G 
Scared of growing old 
             F 
I would swim far into the ocean 

And try to stay afloat 
         Am 
Until my lungs would cough up water 
    G                                  F 
And sand would coat my bones, and I hope, now 

                  Am 
That someday I'll open up the floodgates 
     G 
And let the lyrics flow 
             F 
Someday I'll understand the dry taste 

When the words are trapped below 
            Am 
Some days I wonder if my airway 
   G                                       F 
Is clogged with all the quotes, that I wrote, now 

F 
 I feel worthless 
G                         Am 
Maybe I should open the drawer 

Burn the pages 
                    C 
Write poems with the ash on the floor 
F 
 Pour the ink, into the sink 
G                                 Am 
 And watch it drain from the shore 

             Am 
I don't want love no more 
G                                    F 
 Though it's the one thing I've been searching for 
Dm                               Am 
 Though it's the one thing that I miss the most 
G                           Dm F 
 Now I'm afraid to be alone 

                 Am 
I learnt to grow old when I was younger 
Am 
Scared of staying young 
              Am 
Afraid of the thoughts that I had conjured 
     Am 
That sat atop my tongue 
            F 
Knowing I'd change the worlds opinion 
              Dm 
If they would just, listen up 
              Am 
But they won't, now 

F 
 I feel worthless 
G                           Am 
Maybe I should open the drawer 

Burn the pages 
                     C 
Write poems with the ash on the floor 
F 
 Pour the ink, into the sink 
G                                 Am 
 And watch it drain from the shore 

             Am 
I don't want love no more 
G                                    F 
 Though it's the one thing I've been searching for 
Dm                               Am 
 Though it's the one thing that I miss the most 
G                           Dm 
 Now I'm afraid to be alone 
           F 
(I'm afraid to be alone 
   G 
To be alone) 

Am 
 Looking in the mirror like 
G                   Em      F 
 Maybe I will find myself tonight 

I ask for a better mind 
Dm                      F                  Am 
 Then tap into the sight through my third eye 

I had never realized 
G                     Em        Dm 
 I thought I had a chosen my design 
                                F   G 
I thought I was broken all this time 

             Am 
I don't want love no more 
G                                      F 
 Though it's the one thing I've been searching for 
                                 Am 
Though it's the one thing that I miss the most 
G                             F 
 Now I'm afraid to be alone
