C                             G 
You were the ocean, I was the sand on the shore  
G 
Each time you touched me you left me longing for more  
           F              G 
I knew I'd never hold you here  
           C                   G  
A fleeting moment was all we'd share  
 
Chorus: 
            F              G 
So why do I feel the way I do  
          C                  G 
Why is my time spent missing you  
            Am                      D           G  
Why does it feel like I've lost the only love I knew  
              F     G       C   
When you were never mine to lose  
 
It's not a possession, passion it comes and goes  
Just like the ocean, hearts have their ebb and flow  
And I know I can't turn the tide  
I can't feed the sea once the river's dried  
 
Chorus  
 
Bridge: 
              G  
Did I let the moonlight and your memory  
F               G  
Cast a spell on me
