[Verse]
C E
I stood alone, upon the platform in vain
F
Puerto Ricans they were playing me salsa in the rain
C
With open doors and manual locks
F G F C
In fast food parking lots
C E
I headed West, I was a man on the move
New York had lied to me, I needed the truth
F C
Oh, I need somebody, needed someone I could trust
F 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]
C E
You told me you were good at running away
F
Domestic life, it never suited you like a suitcase
C
You left with just the clothes on your back
F G F C
You took the rest when you took the map
C E
Yes, there are times we live for somebody else
Your father died and you decided to live
F C
It for yourself you felt, you just felt it was time
F 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]
I been down, I been defeated
Am G F
You're the message I was heeding
F E D
Would you stay,
G
Would you stay the night?
[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, I'm your 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
