[Intro]
C Am Em F (x2)

[Verse 1]
C                 Am               Em
I was lost when I went down to the ocean
       F            C
Like a baby came to me
       Am          Em
Like a baby in the ocean
      F           G
And a salty mystery
          F                   G
Leave me alone just for a while
                F                G
My sand crab’s limping for these miles
              F
I’ll be here forever

[Verse 2]
C          Am            Em
You won’t need to go to heaven
       F              C
I’m as close as I can get
      Am            Em
Only fifteen miles away
F                   G
And I dive into a wave
         F              G
Here forever there are ships
               F              G
This and the land, it slowly shifts
                F
And we rode the tide in

[Chorus 1]
C  Em        Am        F
   Leave me alone just for a while (Like a baby in the ocean)
C    Em       Am       F
   Leave me alone just for a while
C    Em       Am       F
   Leave me alone just for a while (Like a baby in the ocean)
C Em Am F


[Verse 3]
C          Am            Em
Okay, so this water came from rivers
         F              C
And the salt came from the land
         Am               Em
And my life is just right here
        F              G
To make castles with my hand
         F              G
And the issues I command
         F                 G
That I make castles with my hand
              F
On the road a ways on

[Chorus 2]
C  Em        Am        F
   Leave me alone just for a while (Like a baby in the ocean)
C    Em       Am       F
   Leave me alone just for a while
C    Em       Am       F
   Leave me alone just for a while (Like a baby in the ocean)
C Em Am F

[Bridge]
G        F
Leave me alone just for a while
G               F                G
My sand crab’s limping for these miles
        F
I’m here forever

[Verse 4]
C          Am            Em
It was embarrassing
  F              C
By the campfire that we made
               Am            Em
With these alcoholic songs
 F                           C
And the good news that they bring

[Chorus 3]
C    Em       Am       F
C    Em       Am       F
   Leave me alone just for a while
C  Em        Am        F
   Leave me alone just for a while (Like a baby in the ocean)
C    Em       Am       F
   Leave me alone just for a while
C    Em       Am       F
   Leave me alone just for a while (Like a baby in the ocean)
C    Em       Am       F
   Leave me alone just for a while
C    Em       Am       F
   Leave me alone just for a while (Like a baby in the ocean)
C Em Am F C
