[intro]

    A*            Dsus2      A*        Asus2
I'm glad no one's here, just me by the sea
    A*            Dsus2   Esus4          E
I'm glad no one's here to mess it up for me

I'm glad no one's here, just me by the sea

But man, I wish I had a hand to hold

  A                 Dsus2       A         Asus2
I saw an orange starfish on the side of a rock
  A*           Dsus2    Esus4             E*
I poked on his back and tried to pull him off
    A*            Dsus2       F#m7(4)     E
A crab scared me away, he ran close to my toes
    Bm            G             A    A
And man, I wish I had a hand to hold

    A*        Dsus2         A*           Asus2
The moon is nowhere, almost time for the sun
    A*           Dsus2        Esus4       E*
The voice of the waves sounds anciently young
      A*          Dsus2        F#m7(4)     E
I'm a prisoner of freedom, ten toes in the sand
    Bm            G             A    A
And man, I wish I had a hand to hold

G          G        D      D
I'm in the habit of being alone
Dm            Dm          A           E   E   E   E
I try hard to break it, I can't on my own

    A*            Dsus2      A*        Asus2
I'm glad no one's here, just me by the sea

I'm glad no one's here to mess it up for me
