[Intro]
Am C F Dm x2

[Verse]
Am               C
Never seen the sun before
F            Dm
Lying on the ocean floor
Am                       C
I'm walking through the wilderness
F                  Dm
And living off the loneliness

   G        C               F
Oh wild blue, deeper than I ever
knew
G        C            F
Wild blue on a bed of grey
                G        C
Oh baby, what a wild blue
                    F
I found myself when I lost you

Am               C
All the tears I meant to cry

Dance across the evening sky

And in my sorrow I can see
F                  Dm
That missing you belongs to me
