Intro: C
Verse:
C C/E
I stood alone, upon the platform in vain
Fmaj7
Puerto Ricans they were playing me salsa in the rain
C
With open doors and manual locks
Fmaj7 C/E C
In fast food parking lots
Pre-chorus:
C C/E
I headed West, I was a man on the move
New York had lied to me, I needed the truth
Fmaj7 C
Oh, I need somebody, needed someone I could trust
Am G6 Fmaj7 C
I don’t gamble, but if I did I would bet on us
CHORUS:
C
Like the Dead Sea
Fmaj7
You told me I was like the Dead Sea
(C) Am
You’ll never sink when you are with me
G6 Fmaj7 C
Oh Lord, like the Dead Sea
C
Whoa, I’m like the Dead Sea
Fmaj7
The nicest words you ever said to me
(C) Am
Honey can’t you see,
G6 Fmaj7 C
I was born to be, be your Dead Sea
Verse:
You told me you were good at running away
Domestic life, it never suited you like a suitcase
You left with just the clothes on your back
You took the rest when you took the map
Pre-chorus:
Yes, there are times we live for somebody else
Your father died and you decided to live
It for yourself you felt, you just felt it was time
And I’m glad, cause you with cats, that’s just not right
CHORUS:
C
Like the Dead Sea
Fmaj7
You told me I was like the Dead Sea
