The Saltwater Room, by Owl City
Standard Tuning
Capo on the 5th
I think to get the most sound of chords in this song without arpeggiating is
this variation of C and G only in the verse, every other chord is played
standard in the rest of the song (including the chorus). Also it sounds
better to end both verses with a standard G chord.

C G
I opened my eyes last night, and saw you in the lowlight
C
Walking down by the bay, on the shore
Em C D
Staring up at the planes that arent there anymore
C G
I was feeling the night, grow old, and you were looking so cold
C
Like an introvert, I drew my over shirt
Em C D
Around my arms and began to shiver violently before
C G
You happened to look and see the tunnels all around me
C
Running into the dark underground
Em C D
All the subways around create a great sound
C G
To my motion fatigue farewell
With your ear to a seashell
C
You can hear the waves in underwater caves
Em C D G(standard chord)
As if you actually were inside a saltwater room
CHORUS*
D Em C G
Time together is just never quite enough
D Em G C
When you and I are alone, Ive never felt so at home
D Em C G
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
D Em G C
We need time, only time
D Em C G
When we?re apart whatever are you thinking of?
D Em G C
If this is what I call home, Ive never felt so alone
D Em C G
So tell me darling, do you wish weed fall in love?
D Em G C
All the time, all the time
VERSE 2
C G
Can you believe that the crew has gone, and wouldnt let me sign on?
C Em C D
All my islands have sunk in the deep, so I can hardly relax or even oversleep
C G
I feel as if I were home some nights, when we count all the ship lights
C
I guess Ill never know, why sparrows love the snow
E C D G(standard chord)
Well turn off all of the lights, and set this ballroom aglow
D Em C G
So tell me darling, do you wish weed fall in love?
D Em G C
All the time
CHORUS
D Em C G
Time together is just never quite enough
D Em G C
When you and I are alone, Ive never felt so at home
D Em C G
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
D Em G C
We need time, only time
D Em C G
When were apart whatever are you thinking of?
D Em G C
If this is what I call home, Ive never felt so alone
D Em C G
So tell me darling, do you wish weed fall in love?
D Em G C
All the time, all the time
OUTRO
C
Time together is just never quite enough
G
When were apart whatever are you thinking of?
C
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
Em C D
So tell me darling do you wish weed fall in love?
C
All the time
