Queens of the Stone Age - I Sat by the Ocean

      Key: A major


[Intro]

A C G A
F Dm A


[Verse 1]

A                  C
I sat by the ocean 
              G              A         F
And drank the potion baby to erase you
                  Dm                      A
Face down in the Boulevard yet I couldn't face you
A                            C
There ain't no use in crying 
           G                        A                     F
It doesn't change anything, so baby what good does it do?
                       Dm               A
Your friends they all sympathize, maybe I don't need them to


[Pre-Chorus]

F           G       Dm      A
Imagine I'd be your one and only
F               G      Dm   A
Instead I'm the lonely one
F    G         A7
You, me, and a lie


[Chorus]

Dm         G
Silence is closer
      A7                   F
We're passing ships in the night


[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)

There's nowhere to run away
Said, 'Boy if you want love, you'll have to go and find it with someone new'
'Do you know who you really are? Are you sure it's really you'?
Lies are a funny thing
They slip through your fingertips because they never happened to you
Time wounds all the heals as we fade out of view


[Pre-Chorus]

F           G       Dm      A
Imagine I'd be your one and only
F               G      Dm   A
Instead I'm the lonely one
F    G         A7
You, me, and a lie


[Chorus]

Dm         G
Silence is closer
      A7                   F
We're passing ships in the night


[Pre-Chorus]

F    G         A7
You, me, and a lie


[Chorus]

Dm         Gm
Silence is closer
      A7                   F
We're passing ships in the night
A7         F        A7                 F
End to the light, left with nowhere to hide


[Instrumental]

F Dm G A7


[Chorus]

Dm         G
Closer and closer
      A7                    F
We're crashing ships in the night
