# This is my first tab

Verse 1:
C C
I'm just a normal boy
The sequent of the overboard
My ship would leave country
but it rather swim ashore
Am Am
without a life guess I'd be stuck again
wish I was much more masculine
maybe then i could learn to swim
Am7 Am7
like fourteen miles away
F F
now floating up and down
I spend colliding into sound
like whales beneath me diving down
I'm sinking to the bottom
C C
of my every thing that freaks me out
the light house beam has just run out
I'm cold as cold as cold can be......be


Chorus:
C C
I want to swim away but dont know how
Cm7 Cm7
Somtimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean
Am Am
let the waves up take me down
Am7 Am7
let the hurricane set in motion yea
F F C C
let the rain of what i feel right now come down...let the rain come down


Verse 2:
C C
Where is the coastguard I keep looking his direction
for a spotlight give me something I need something for pertection
Am Am
mabye floating junk would do just fine
the jet ski some come left behind
I'm dreading for my life believe me
how can I keep up this breathing
F F
not knowing how you think I scream aloud begin to sink
my legs and arms are broken down with envy for the solid ground
C C
I'm reaching for the life within me
how can one man stop his ending
I thought of just your face relaxed and floated into space


(chorus)

Verse 3:
C C
now wake into the sun
I calculate what I have done
like jumping from the bow yea
just to prove that i knew how yea
Am Am
its midnights late reminder
of the loss of her the one I love
my will to quickly end it all sat front row
in my need to fall and
F F
into the ocean end it all [x4]
C C
into the ocean end it all


(Chorus)

C C-Am Am-F F

Into space..............I thought of just your face

Playing this on the uke has been fun, but I'm still trying to figure out what this song means. It seems to have a quintuple meaning - its about suicide, or the loss of a loved one, or a broken heart, or a dream about finding comfort in those you love, or about partially drowning and having that experience follow you for the rest of your life. I'm really unclear. If anyone knows, I'd love to hear. Knowing Justin, I'm actually guessing that it isn't one of those 5 meaning I've come to...

About this song: Into The Ocean

The lyrics convey the first-person account of a "normal boy" who has fallen or jumped off the bow of a ship and the thoughts that pass through the boy's mind as he loses the will to keep afloat by treading water. His final thought is of his beloved as he eventually concedes to drowning. In the final verse the song takes on a deeper meaning as the lyrics reveal that the initial story of the boy drowning was just a dream spurred by feelings of grief over the loss of a loved one, presumably the woman whose face gave him comfort as he imagined he was drowning.
