F                    A#                         F
Well video tapes and ice skates are beautiful things
        F                 A#          C
Like a birthday card for Johnny and a pair of
       F
angel wings
           F           A#
you were tryna light a fire, and all you wanted
       F
was a match
         Dm            A#                 C
But you knew I didn't have one, so it was odd
                F
that you should ask
       F               A#
No it wasn't just the plane crash, that shook
             F
you to your core
        Dm              A#                       C
But the very thought of losing her, that made it all
             F
worth dying for

     F   A# F
I'm sorry
     Dm  A# C F
I'm sorry

We both washed up on that island,
all alone without a friend
Thinkin' you and I were gonna die there,
and that would be the end
But as the weeks turned into months,
I saw you overcome your fears
And as we became companions, all those
months turned into years
When we would talk and talk for hours,
you would make sure I felt heard
'Cause you knew what I was sayin' though
I never said a word

Chorus:
      F     A#                        F
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo, I'm ready for anything
      D     A#                 C
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo, who knows what the tide could
  F
bring
      F     A#                               F
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo, yeah, I'm ready for anything
      Dm    A#                 C
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo, who knows what
                F
the tide will bring

After fifteen hundred days,
you and me escaped to sea
And I knew that you still loved
the girl from Memphis, Tennessee
Out there on that lonely ocean,
we met a passin' humpback whale
'Cause all the way from Bakersfield,
the tide gave us a sail
And just like that, it happened,
the waves took me away
And I'm sorry, I'm so sorry that you
lost a friend that day

Chorus

              G            C
Well you and me went on a journey, full of tragedy
     G
and pain
         G              C                    D
But I'm grateful I was with you through the sunshine
         G
and the rain
            G               C
And when I wonder where ya are now, I'll probably
        G
never know
        Em                C                Am
But my friend I hope you made it, and somehow,
                     C   D
you finally made it Home
          G                C
I have an ocean-worth of questions, but if I do
     G
know one thing
             Em              C
Is that the sun will rise tomorrow,
                        D           G
and who knows what the tide could bring,

G          C                       G
Da da da da da - I'll never forget you
         Em    C  D G
Do do do doo doooo


                                    G
Hey, hey, hey, hey, Kelly are you there, pick up
    C
I know I said I'd be back, and like that
         G
Nobody knew where I was at
        Em                       C
All my logic said I would never see you again
       D                         G
After four years of missing you so bad,
but here I am
G                            C
And now I have to learn to let you go
                                 G
Even though I love you more than you'll ever know
            Em                            C
I'm getting used to half a heart and the way
things are
           D                    G
But Kelly, I never should have gotten outta the car

Chorus

    G     C               G
I'm sooooorry, for everything
    Em   C        D                          G
But no-o-oobody knows, what the tide could bring
    Em     C            D
You knoooooow, nobody knows, what the tide
        G
could bring

G               C                          G
Video tapes and ice skates are beautiful things
        G               C                D
Like a pocket watch on Kelly time and a pair
           G
of angel wings
                           C
When the birthday card to Johnny
               G
It made me realize
               Em         C
That the most beautiful thing in the world,
       D                  G
is of course the gift of life
          Em         C
The most beautiful thing in the world is to be
    D            G
So wonderfully alive
