Em B7 Em B7 [Verse 1] Em B7 Late one night I had a notion Em D An epiphany would be a better word Am C So I stumbled in the dark down to the ocean B7 Em D And I pulled my broken heart out of the surf Em B7 I had told her I did not have much to offer Em D And I had told her I would treat her like a queen Am C But I guess I wasn't worth what I would cost her B7 Em D So the night has brought me to this coral reef [Chorus] C G So down to the water I will come C G To raise for her this castle with my hands C A And steal away before the morning sun D C G C G B7 Cause I don't need her love to love her all I can [Verse 2] Em B7 So night on night and year on year Em D Well, I worked until my hands no longer bled Am C And I let the ocean bear away my tears B7 Em D So that she would know that I could love her best [Chorus] C G And a desert's just a sea without a shore C G And a lonely man at worst is still a man C A And I ain't gonna cry for her no more D C G C G B7 Cause I don't need her love to love her all I can [Verse 3] Em B7 I often dreamed I saw her face among the people Em D Who'd come to see the coral fortress I had built Am C But it may as well have been another seagull B7 Em D And the castle is there waiting for her still [Chorus] C G So down to the water I will come C G To raise for her this castle with my hands C A And steal away before the morning sun D C G Cause I don't need her love to love her all I can D C G C G D G Well I don't need her love to love her all I can
