Dead Sea Chords & Lyrics Artist: The Lumineers

VERSE 1
C
I stood alone, upon the platform in vain
Caug                                              F
Puerto Ricans they were playing me salsa in the rain
                                C
With open doors and manual locks
     F        Fm        C
In fast food parking lots
 
C
I headed West, I was a man on the move
Caug
New York had lied to me, I needed the truth
           F                                    C
Oh, I need somebody, needed someone I could trust
         Am               G           F      C
I don't gamble, but if I did I would bet on us
 
CHORUS
C
Like the Dead Sea
                             F
You told me I was like the Dead Sea
                                Am
You'll never sink when you are with me
      G           F      C
Oh Lord, like the Dead Sea
C
Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea
                             F
The finest words you ever said to me
                  Am
Honey can't you see,
             G             F    C
I was born to be, be your Dead Sea
 
VERSE 2
C
You told me you were good at running away
Caug                                          F
Domestic life, it never suited you like a suitcase
                                         C
You left with just the clothes on your back
      F                Fm           C
You took the rest when you took the map
 
C
Yes, there are times we live for somebody else
Caug
Your father died and you decided to live
            F                                    C
It for yourself you felt, you just felt it was time
          Am                   G            F        C
And I'm glad, cause you with cats, that's just not right
 
CHORUS
C
Like the Dead Sea
                             F
You told me I was like the Dead Sea
                                Am
You'll never sink when you are with me
      G           F      C
Oh Lord, like the Dead Sea
C
Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea
                             F
The nicest words you ever said to me
                  Am
Honey can't you see,
             G             F    C
I was born to be, be your Dead Sea
 
BRIDGE
Am
I been down, I been defeated
F
You're the message I was heeding
D
Would you stay,
G
Would you stay the night?
 
CHORUS
C
Dead Sea
                             F

You'll never sink when you are with me

Oh Lord, I’m your Dead Sea

Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea
                             F
The nicest words you ever said to me

Honey can't you see,
                G         F     C
I was born to be, be your Dead Sea.
