Title:
“Wave Breaks on the Shore”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[C]Down by the [G]ocean, under the [Am]moon’s soft [Em]glow
[C]Longing for [G]something, but don’t [Am]know where to [Em]go
[C]The waves crash [G]around me, as I’m [Am]searching for [Em]more
[C]Like the relentless [G]wave breaks on the [Am]shore [Em]

(Chorus)
[F] Let the water [C] wash over [G] me,
[F]I am lost but [C] feel so [G] free,
[F] I’m learning to [C] swim in this [G] mystery,
[F] Like the relentless [C] wave breaks on the [G] shore.

(Verse 2)
[C]Tossed by the [G]current, pulled by the [Am]undertow [Em]
[C]Chasing the [G]horizon, where does it [Am]go? [Em]
[C]Caught in the [G]motion, I am [Am]wanting for [Em]more
[C] Like the relentless [G]wave breaks on the [Am] shore [Em]

(Chorus)
[F] Let the water [C] wash over [G] me,
[F]I am lost but [C] feel so [G] free,
[F] I’m learning to [C] swim in this [G] mystery,
[F] Like the relentless [C] wave breaks on the [G] shore.
