C#m                      A
There's still so far to go
                     E
And I can't feel my toes
                                 B
When the rain soaks through the heels
                 C#m
And slips to the sole
                               A
Yeah, the blades are two feet tall
I wade in green,
     E                                 B
I'm moving forward to where God only knows

C#m                       A
Feel the wind's harsh refrain
                         E
Like the clouds grip my face
                        B                 C#m
Saying it's alright to run from all this pain
                           A
Oh, and when it's time to go
                            E
With one last breath that's in my lungs
                            B
I'll scream, "It's all for love"
                            A
I'll scream, "It's all for love"

Chorus:
                   E      A
Come and kiss me, salt water
          E                               B
Oh, finally, I feel at, three or four degrees
             E      A
I'm free in salt water
             E                    B
Embrace the deep and leave everything
               C#m
It was just a dream

I can see it up ahead where
the sky meets the ground
And after that, there's only moving grey
I am filled up with regret
With things I did or never said,
just leave that, well, alone

Chorus:
                   E      A
Come and kiss me, salt water
          E                               B
Oh, finally, I feel at, three or four degrees
             E      A
I'm free in salt water
             E                    B
Embrace the deep and leave everything
              F#m
It was just a dream

   B
Ah-ah
              C#m  A
It was just a dream
              F#m
It was just a dream
   B
Ah-ah
                E
It was just a dream
         A
Was it just a dream?

Now, I'm standing on the edge,
gazing into hell
Or is it somethin' else?
I just can't tell
When there's nothin' left,
I close my eyes and take one step
And say, "Well, here it goes,"
I say, "Well, here it goes"

Chorus:
                   E      A
Come and kiss me, salt water
          E                               B
Oh, finally, I feel at, three or four degrees
             E      A
I'm free in salt water
             E                    B
Embrace the deep and leave everything
                E A E B
It was just a dream
