[Intro]
C        G        C        G


[Verse 1]
C               G
    City papers    blow around me
C                           G
    As the mornin' hits the sky
C                 G           Em       A
    On the ocean    ships are waitin' high
      D
So am I


[Verse 2]
C                G
   City sweeper    goes around me
C                           G
   He don't need no reason why
C                 G        Em      A
If I don't seem       in a hurry now
        D
I've arrived


[Chorus]
C         D     Bm           Em
  Come on baby     won't you save me
C           D          G
  Turn this water into wine
C         D      Bm           Em
  Love, emotion,      like an ocean
C           D          C
How can I hold back the tide


[Verse 3]
C               G
  Baby meet me     on the corner
C                             G
  When you hear that whistle blow
C                 G         Em
  If I don't seem    like I oughta
    A                    D
The one     you used to know


[Chorus]
C         D     Bm           Em
  Come on baby     won't you save me
C           D          G    Am G
  Turn this water into wine
C         D      Bm           Em
  Love, emotion,      like an ocean
C           D          C
How can I hold back the tide

[Verse 4]
C                      G
   I'm on high ground      Put this weight down
C                           G
   Of one thing you can be sure
C                 G            Em
   On the ocean      ships are sailin'
    A                     D
But I don't need them anymore


[Chorus]
C         D     Bm           Em
  Come on baby     won't you save me
C           D          G

How can I hold back the tide
C         D     Bm           Em
  Come on baby     won't you save me
C           D          G
  Turn this water into wine
C         D      Bm           Em
  Love, emotion,      like an ocean
