The song is mostly picked, and most of the C and G chords have the ii note played
(lifting the middle finger for the C and the index finger for the G).
(x4)
Just want something beautiful, I want to look in your eyes
I want to listen to you sing my favorite song and cry
Want to reach into your oceans, want to calm your sea when it storms
I want to let you take hold of this sinking ship and lead me home
But I'm not what you need
I've known you so much stronger
But you are such a pleasant fiction to me
So I guess that I'll dream of you a little longer
I want to pack up and move with you, oh and never look behind
I want to take your hand as we chase down the skyline
I want to tell you my stories, wake you up in the middle of the night
I want you to tell me when I'm wrong, and I just want you to smile at me when I'm right
(chorus)
Don't want to take the light from your eyes
It would be nice if I could hold you tight
While I lay in the sand
You could love what's left of this lonely excuse of a man
(chorus)
