[Verse 1]
  Ebm7           Abm
I want to love a boy
    Db7            Ebm
The way I love the ocean
                 Abm
Wish I was not afraid
                     Ebm
Of all I have that's broken

[Pre-Chorus 1]
   B             Db
I know I must behave
       Dm          Ebm
To contain all my emotion

[Chorus 1]
      Ebm7           Abm7
But I want to love a boy
    Db7            Ebm
The way I love the ocean

[Outro 1]
Ebm

[Verse 2]
Ebm7          Abm7
Like a hidden cave
            Ebm7
I am always open
                     Abm7
I hold the space you made
                    Ebm7
I'm empty but still hoping

[Pre-Chorus 2]
B        Db7
I have a feeling
   Dm               Ebm7
A terrible fear encroaching

[Chorus 2]
          Ebm7         Abm7
That I'll never love a boy
    Db             B
The way I love the ocean

[Outro 2]
B

[Bridge]
E
  I ask, "Why
                 Abm                 B
"It's better to speak than it is to die?"
E
  One more try
                 Abm                 Db
"It's better to laugh than it is to lie?"

[Outro 3]
Db

[Verse 3]
   Ebm7           Abm7
I thought I had a man
                  Ebm7
Someone who could hold me
           Abm7
But nobody can
                    Ebm
I wish someone had told me

[Pre-Chorus 3]
B          Db
I was born yesterday
Dm                       Ebm
And I'm still wet, still soaking

[Chorus 3]
      Ebm7           Abm
And I want to love a boy
    Db             Ebm7
The way I love the ocean

[Post-Chorus]
    Db             Ebm7
The way I love the ocean
    Db              Gb
The way I love the ocean
