The Cat Empire - Til the Ocean Takes Us All

      An edit of Hayman's tab, credit to him. Tabbed from the album version. I made a few changes to the chord 
progression and added some base notes to the chords where I think it matches the piano. Sounds okay
without them though.




              Am
I love you like oil
             Am/G#     (or Am7)
Coming down hard
             G
Need you so fast
              D/F#
Need you so right away
        F
Like a road train
   Am/E
I need you babe
       F           E
Let's burn it all away
                      Am
But I love you like water
             Am/G#
You give me order
               G
It's getting hotter
            D/F#
Believe me when I say
               F
That like a spring rain
   Am
I need you babe
       Dm           E           Dm  G  E  A
But nothing last forever after all ....
      Dm                G             C
I'll love you til the ocean takes us all


Am                       E 
This is the story of two lovers like twins
G                                 D
They would do lovers things blame original sin
Am                                E 
Look into their eyes only for the meaning of the hour
G                             D
As if there only everything existed in their power, yet
Am                 E 
Lo and behold they drifted of a stream humming
G                   D
How does it go? Oh 'Life is but a dream'
E                                     E 
Well the stream became a river and the river start to tow
E                            E
They, they didn't notice at all

              Am
I love you like oil
             Am/G#
Coming down hard
             G
Need you so fast
              D/F#
Need you so right away
        F
Like a road train
   Am/E
I need you babe
      Dm            E           Dm  G  E  A
But nothing last forever after all ....
      Dm                G             C
I'll love you til the ocean takes us all

                   Am            E 
And on this black day the people shouted from the shore
            G               D
Screaming, 'Stop gazing and swim to save us all!'
        Am         E
But the twins they didn't hear at all
G                       D                       
They whispered nothings down the waterfall
Am                    E
And for what? Why did love become this void?
         G                    D
When the ones we love are the one we would destroy
E                                    E
Have you heard about the phrase says 'Ignorance is bliss'?
      E                        E
Well, what bliss could lead to this.

                      Am
But I need you like water
             Am/G#
You give me order
               G
It's getting hotter
            D/F#
Believe me when I say
               F
That like a spring rain
   Am/E
I need you babe
       Dm           E           Dm  G  E  A
But nothing last forever after all ....
      Dm                G             C
I'll love you til the ocean takes us all
