Am                  F 
  There's still so far to go 
                   C 
And I can't feel my toes 
                                G 
When the rain soaks through the heels 
                 Am 
And slips to the sole 
                              F 
Yeah, the blades are two feet tall 

I wade in green 
     C              
I'm moving forward 
                   G 
To where God only knows 
Am                       F 
  Feel the wind's harsh refrain 
                        C 
Like the clouds grip my face 
                       G    
Saying it's alright to run 
              Am 
From all this pain 
                          F 
Oh, and when it's time to go 

With one last breath 
       C 
That's in my lungs 
                           G 
I'll scream, "It's all for love" 
                           F 
I'll scream, "It's all for love" 


                  C        F 
Come and kiss me, salt water 
          C             
Oh, finally, I feel at 
               G 
Three or four degrees 
            C        F 
I'm free in salt water 
            C      
Embrace the deep 
               G 
And leave everything 
              Am 
It was just a dream 


                 F 
I can see it up ahead 
                        C 
Where the sky meets the ground 
                       G           Am 
And after that there's only moving grey 
                      F 
I am filled up with regret 
                     C           
With things I did or never said 
                      G 
Just leave that well alone 


              C        F 
Come and kiss me, salt water 
          C             
Oh, finally, I feel at 
               G 
Three or four degrees 
            C        F 
I'm free in salt water 
            C     
Embrace the deep 
               G 
And leave everything 
              Dm 
It was just a dream 


G 
Ah 
              Am 
It was just a dream 
       F 
Was it just a dream? 
              Dm 
It was just a dream 
   G 
Ah-ah 
              C 
It was just a dream 
       F 
Was it just a dream?  


Am                        F 
  Now I'm standing on the edge 
            C 
Gazing into Hell 
                   G 
Or is it something else? 
             Am 
I just can't tell 
                     F 
When there's nothing left 
                    C 
I close my eyes and take one step 
                        G 
And say, "Well, here it goes" 
                    F 
Say, "Well, here it goes" 


              C        F 
Come and kiss me, salt water 
          C            
Oh, finally, I feel at 
                G 
Rhree or four degrees 
            C        F 
I'm free in salt water 
            C                
Embrace the deep and leave 
     G 
Everything 
              C F C G 
It was just a dream
