[Verse 1]
D Bm
Down by the bay, a man made of clay
D Bm
Dips his toes into the ocean, trying to wash himself away
D Bm
He jumps into the pond and he starts to dissolve
D Bm
And he dreams about the streams that bleed into the Amazon
[Pre-Chorus]
D Bm
If you are a boulder that never leaves the shore
D Bm
You'll get ground up into sand and tracked onto the floor
D Bm D
Swept into a pile on someone's kitchen tile
[Chorus]
Em G Em Bm D
These hurricanes have led my heart astray
Em E D
But maybe if I try my hardest, I'll finally chase the rainclouds all away
[Verse 2]
D Bm
I heard on the news that they keep finding shoes
D Bm
On the shores of Ecuador and no one knows what they should do
D Bm
They tried to give them away but there's more every day
D Bm
Ballet shoes in shades of blue and rubber boots and mary janes
[Pre-Chorus]
D Bm
If you have to get away, don't take a pleasure cruise
D Bm
Cause you might get swept away, and you'll lose your shoes
D Bm D
They'll end up in a pile on some foreign isle
[Chorus]
Em G Em Bm D
These hurricanes have led my heart astray
Em E D
But maybe if I try my hardest, I'll finally chase the rainclouds all away
[Pre-Chorus]
D Bm G D
In a couple years, the land will disappear under the ocean
D Bm G D
When that day is here, I'll pack a bathing suit and tanning lotion
[Bridge]
F#m G
I'll let the waves take me away
(In a couple years, the land will disappear under the ocean)
F#m G D
I'll let the waves take me away
(When that day is here, I'll pack a bathing suit and tanning lotion)
