[Intro]
| D      | D      | D      | D      |
 
 
[Verse 1]
D
 You and I were just a whisper
D
 Summoned by the closest star
D
 We were everything and nothing
  Em7
Together and apart
D
 Rising on the wind like laughter
D
 From a body traced by sand
D
 An echo in a seashell
      Em7
And a sailor's best friend
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
        G         F#m      A     Em7
Then we go on our own into danger
       G          F#m        A
In the rain we pretend to be strangers
 
 
[Chorus]
Em7                                     G
Someday we’ll both forget 'bout you and me
                      D    D
When we return to the sea
  Em7                                 G
A strange descent remembering what we knew
                       D    D
On our way back to the blue
 
 
[Verse 2]
D
 Remember we were just a ripple
D
 Reaching towards the harbor's edge
D                                           Em7
 Never asking where this wave stops and the ocean begins
D
 Gathered up one misty morning
D
 Lifted to the clouds that call
D
 Time just billows by
    Em7
And then we fall
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
        G         F#m      A     Em7
Then we go on our own into danger
       G          F#m        A
In the rain we pretend to be strangers
 
 
[Chorus]
Em7                                     G
Someday we’ll both forget 'bout you and me
                      D    D
When we return to the sea
  Em7                                 G
A strange descent remembering what we knew
                       D    D
On our way back to the blue
                       D                                      D
On our way back to the blue (to the blue, to the blue, to the blue)
 
 
[Bridge]
D
 You’re the minutes and the hour
D
 You're the pedals and the flower
D
 The small wave and the big sea
D
 The little steps that make the mile
D
 And the high that lifts the smile
D
 And if you feel this come and smile with me
G                          F#m
Round and round again and around and round again
    A                                Em7
And right back to the ocean like the sun comes down
G                          F#m
Round and round again and around and round again
    A
And round and round we go
 
 
[Chorus]
Em7  G                      D    D
      When we return to the sea
  Em7                                 G
A strange descent remembering what we knew
                       D    D
On our way back to the blue
                       D                                      D
On our way back to the blue (to the blue, to the blue, to the blue)
 
 
[Outro]
D                                                  D
Back to the blue, to the blue, to the blue, to the blue
                       D                                      D      D      D
On our way back to the blue (to the blue, to the blue, to the blue)
