~ Queens of the Stone Age - I sat by the Ocean (acoustic version) ~ Intro: C / Am / D / E E E/F# G D E I sat by the ocean and drank a potion, baby to erase you. C Am E Face down in the Boulevard, yet I couldn't face you. E E/F# G D There ain't no use in crying. It doesn't change anything, E So baby what good does it do? C Am Your friends, they all sympathize. E Maybe, I don't need them too. C E Imagine I'd be your one and only C E Instead I'm the lonely one C D E You, me and a lie. Am D E C Silence is closer. We're passing ships in the night. E There's nowhere to run away. E/F# G Said, D E “Boy if you want love, you'll have to go and find it with someone new.” C Am E “Do you know who you really are? Are you sure it's really you?” E Lies are a funny thing. E/F# G D E They slip through your fingertips because they never happened to you. C Am E Time wounds all the heals as we fade out of view. C E Imagine I'd be your one and only C E Instead I'm the lonely one C D E You, me and a lie. | Am D E C | x2 Silence is closer.
