Atlantic

D D G D D G There's a channel. There's a tunnel D You can sail by train, from the English coast G There's an ocean with no tunnel D You can sail by mail, but go parcel post Prechorus A There's nothing but the waves, the fish & the kelp G In between her & him A They entertain the thought about meeting halfway D G But neither knows how to swim Bm A He has a pump, she has a pail D G They'll empty this quarry soon Bm A Stand on a rock and see each other wave G And for now that will have to do D Till the Atlantic's dry D G There's a lighthouse, there's an outhouse D Both rely on a torch, just different bulbs G He sends flowers- it takes hours Bm D Just to lie on her porch, they're quite different bulbs Prechorus A There's nothing but the waves, the fish & the kelp G In between her & him A They entertain the thought about meeting halfway D G But neither knows how to swim Bm A He has a pump, she has a pail D G They'll empty this quarry soon Bm A Stand on a rock and see each other wave G And for now that will have to do D Till the Atlantic's dry C G Bridge the distance, drain the ocean C Bm Pave a highway on the sandy floor C G Gm A Part the waters with devotion- it's just a thought D G A reunion near Bermuda D They're too tired to hug, they just stand and gleam Dehydrated yet elated G D & they suddenly wake, they've both shared a dream Prechorus A There's nothing but the waves, the fish & the kelp G In between her & him A They entertain the thought about meeting halfway D G But neither knows how to swim Bm A He has a pump, she has a pail D G They'll empty this quarry soon Bm A Stand on a rock and see each other wave G And for now that will have to do Bm A Till the airfares drop to Greyhound rates G For now that will have to do Bm A Till Mother Earth moves and shifts some plates G For now that will have to do Bm A Till the Crown reclaims the United States G For now that will have to do Bm A Till Saint Peter opens up Heaven's gates G For now that will have to do D Till the Atlantic's dry A G D
