[Verse1]
[C]I stood alone, upon the platform in vain
[Caug]Puerto Ricans they were playing me salsa in the ra[F]rain
With open doors and manual locks[C]locks
In fa[F]st food p[Fm]arking lot[C]s
[C]I headed West, I was a man on the move
Caug
New York had lied to me, I needed the truth
Oh, I need [F]somebody, needed someone I could trus[C]trust
I don't g[Am]amble, but if I d[G]id I would b[F]et on u[C]s
[Chorus]
[C]Like the Dead Sea
You told me I was like the De[F]Dead Sea
You'll never sink when you are w[Am]with me
Oh Lor[G]Lord, like the [F]Dead Se[C]Sea
[C]Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea
The finest words you ever sai[F]said to me
Honey can't you se[Am]see,
I was born to[G] be, be your D[F]ead S[C]ea
[Verse2]
[C]You told me you were good at running away
[Caug]Domestic life, it never suited you like a suit[F]suitcase
You left with just the clothes on your ba[C]back
You to[F]took the rest when [Fm]you took the [C]map
[C]Yes, there are times we live for somebody else
Caug
Your father died and you decided to live
It for yours[F]yourself you felt, you just felt it was ti[C]time
And I'm gl[Am]ad, cause you with ca[G]ts, that's ju[F]st not ri[C]ght
[Chorus]
[C]Like the Dead Sea
You told me I was like the De[F]Dead Sea
You'll never sink when you are w[Am]with me
Oh Lor[G]Lord, like the [F]Dead Se[C]Sea
[C]Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea
The nicest words you ever sai[F]said to me
Honey can't you se[Am]see,
I was born to[G] be, be your D[F]ead S[C]ea
[Bridge]
[Am]I been down, I been defeated
[F]You're the message I was heeding
[D]Would you stay,
[G]Would you stay the night?
[Chorus]
[C]Dead Sea
You told me I was like the De[F]Dead Sea
You'll never sink when you are w[Am]with me
Oh Lor[G]Lord, I’m your [F]Dead Se[C]Sea
[C]Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea
The nicest words you ever sai[F]said to me
Don’t need to move your feet so qu[Am]quickly,
Oh Lo[G]rd, I’m your D[F]ead S[C]ea
