Verse 1

F#6

Love's sinking in the sand

Petals falling on demand

D#m7

My feet are running like the wind

I'm sorry, boy, that we sinned

Love is not like they say

A lie, that it's hard to make it stay

D#m7

I drown my feelings in the sea

They dried out over on the beach

Verse 2
F#6 
Mother, tell me how it is
I know you've been through all of this
D#m7 
You ran away so many times
Your kids, your heart, a couple of dimes

Love is not like they say
A lie, that it's hard to make it stay

It drowns my feelings in the sea
