Intro: C

Verse:
C                                        Caug/E
 I stood alone, upon the platform in vain
                                                Fmaj7
Puerto Ricans they were playing me salsa in the rain
                             C
With open doors and manual locks
   Fmaj7     Caug/E  C 
In fast food parking lots

Pre-chorus:
C                                      Caug/E
 I headed West, I was a man on the move

New York had lied to me, I needed the truth
     Fmaj7                                   C
Oh, I need somebody, needed someone I could trust
         Am              G6          Fmaj7  C
I don't gamble, but if I did I would bet on us

Chorus:
C
 Like the Dead Sea
                           Fmaj7
You told me I was like the Dead Sea
                           (C) Am
You'll never sink when you are with me
   G6         Fmaj7     C
Oh Lord, like the Dead Sea
C
 Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea
                          Fmaj7
The nicest words you ever said to me
                (C) Am
Honey can't you see,
               G6         Fmaj7 C
I was born to be, be your Dead Sea

Verse: 
You told me you were good at running away
Domestic life, it never suited you like a suitcase
You left with just the clothes on your back
You took the rest when you took the map

Pre-chorus:
Yes, there are times we live for somebody else
Your father died and you decided to live
It for yourself you felt, you just felt it was time
And I'm glad, cause you with cats, that's just not right

Chorus:
Like the Dead Sea
You told me I was like the Dead Sea
You'll never sink when you are with me
Oh Lord, like the Dead Sea
Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea
The nicest words you ever said to me
Honey can't you see,
I was born to be, be your Dead Sea

Bridge:
Am                         Am/G  Fmaj7
 I been down, I been defeated
                                C  Dsus2/A
You're the message I was heeding

Would you stay,
                G
Would you stay the night?

Chorus:
Dead Sea,
Told me I was like the Dead Sea
Never sink when you are with me
Oh Lord, I'm your Dead Sea
Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea
The finest words you ever said to me
No need to move your feet so quickly
Oh Lord, I'm your Dead Sea
