[Intro 1]
[G][Em]
[C][Bm][Em][C][Am]
[C][G]

[Verse 1]
In [G]the beginning,
I was [C]counting [G]the stones
on [Em]the seashore,
Looking [C]for the [C#dim]precious [D]ones.
[Bm]Amon[B] g t[Em]he stones,
I [C]found many [D]pretty [Em]things[D]
While [C]the sea rolled [Em]on beside
[Am]me all the time.[G]
[C]

[Verse 2]
[G]
[Em]Time [G]moved on.
I had col[C]lected many [G]stones
'til I [Em]tired of [Bm]them,[Em]
[G]And [C]I think they [C#dim]tired of me.[D]
[B]Some [Em]were lovely,
[Bm]but I [G]was [C]never sati[D]sfied,
[Em]And [D]the sea [C]rolled on be[G]
[Am]side me all [D]the time.
[G][C]

[Verse 3]
[G]
And [C]the wind rose, east and [G]cold.
Whisp'ring [C]sweetly to [G]my soul.
And [C]it said "Look you fool,
[D]You [G]are missing [Em]precious things:
[C]Raise your eyes a[G]nd [Am]look toward
[Dsus4]s the sea."
[G][C]

[Verse 4]
[G]
So I looked:
It [Bm]was as [C]if I saw the s[G]ea
for the [Em]first [Bm]time,
And it's [C]power [C#dim]cap tured me.[D]
[B]All [Em]the [Bm]time I had
[C]wasted seeking [D]stones,
I had [C]missed [G]the rolling [Am]glory [Dsus4]of the se[G]a.
[C][G]

[Interlude 1]
[Em][C]
[Bm][Em][C][Am][C][G]

[Verse 5]
[G]And the sea
Devoured [C]a mighty swathe [G]of heart,
[D]over[Em]whelmed [Bm]me
In [C]a way [C#dim]I couldn't know,[D][Em]
And [Bm]the price for [C]the love
of [D]greater [Em]things[D]
[Em]Was sur[C]render [G]to the great
[Am]and crue[C]l sea.
[G]

[Verse 6]
And [C]it stole me,
and I [G]feared the aching sea,
It con[C]sumed me, drowned my [G]mind.
The wind [C]said "Look, you [D]fool,[C]
No [G]matter what [Bm]you d[Em]o,
[C]You can't contai[G]n the oce[Am]an like a stone."[G]
