NIKI - Oceans And Engines

Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
Am C/G Fmaj7 C

[Verse 1]
Am
Saturday sunset
C/G Fmaj7 C
We’re lying on my bed with five hours to go
Am C/G
Fingers entwined and so were our minds
Fmaj7 C
Crying, “I don’t want you to go”
Am
You wiped away tears
C/G Fmaj7 C
But not fears under the still and clear indigo
Am C/G
You said “Baby, don’t cry, we’ll be fine
Fmaj7 C
You’re the one thing I swear I can’t outgrow”
Am C/G
My mother said the younger me was a pretending prodigy
Fmaj7 C
Well, nothing then, much has changed
Am
‘Cause while you’re wolfing down liquor
C/G
My soul, it gets sicker
Fmaj7
But I’m sticking to the screenplay
Fmaj7
Gotta say I’m okay But answer this, babe

[Pre-Chorus]
Am C/G
How is it now that, somehow, you’re a strangеr?
Fmaj7 C
You were mine just yеsterday
Am C/G
I pray the block in my airway dissipates
Fmaj7 C
And instead deters your airplane’s way
D
But heaven denied
F
Destiny decried
D
Something beautiful died
F
Too soon

[Chorus]
C
But I’m letting go
Am
I’m giving up the ghost
F
But don’t get me wrong
G
I’ll always love you That’s why I wrote you this very last song
C Am
I guess this is where we say goodbye
F
I know I’ll be alright
G
Someday, I’ll be fine
Am C/G Fmaj7
But just not tonight (Ooh)

[Verse 2]
Am C/G
Plunging into all kinds of diversions
Fmaj7 C
Like blush wine and sonorous soirées
Am C/G
But even with gin and surgin’ adrenaline
Fmaj7 C
I see you’re all that can intoxicate

[Pre-Chorus]
Am
Oceans and engines
C/G Fmaj7 C
You’re skilled at infringin’ on great love affairs
Am
Cause now my heart’s home
C/G F C
All I’ve known is long gone and ten thousand miles away
D C
And I’m not okay

[Chorus]
G C
But I’m letting go
Am
I’m giving up the ghost
F
But don’t get me wrong
G
I’ll always love you That’s why I wrote you this very last song
C Am
I guess this is where we say goodbye
F
I know I’ll be alright

But just not —

[Bridge]
Am C/G Fmaj7 C
Tonight was the first time I stared into seas of beguiling sepia two years ago
Am C/G Fmaj7 C
And the first time I learned real world superpowers lived in three words, they revitalize my fraying bones
Am
Now what do you do when your pillar crumbled down You’ve lost all solid ground
C/G
Both dreams and demons drowned And this void’s all you’ve found
Fmaj7 C
And doubts light it aglow
Am7
I have so many questions
C/G
But I’m pouring them into the ocean
Fmaj7
And I’m starting up my engine

[Outro]
C
But I’m letting go
Am
I’m giving up your ghost
F
It’s come to a close
G
I marked the end with this last song I wrote
C
I’m letting go
Am F
This is the last falsetto I’ll ever sing to you
Fm C
My great lost love
