C 
I stood alone, upon the platform in vain 
Caug                                              F 
Puerto Ricans they were playing me salsa in the rain 
                                C 
With open doors and manual locks 
     F        Fm        C 
In fast food parking lots
[Strophe]
C 
I headed West, I was a man on the move 
Caug 
New York had lied to me, I needed the truth 
           F                                    C 
Oh, I need somebody, needed someone I could trust 
         Am               G           F      C 
I don't gamble, but if I did I would bet on us
[Refrain]
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

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
[Strophe]
C 
You told me you were good at running away 
Caug                                          F 
Domestic life, it never suited you like a suitcase 
                                         C 
You left with just the clothes on your back 
      F                Fm           C 
You took the rest when you took the map
[Strophe]
C 
Yes, there are times we live for somebody else 
Caug 
Your father died and you decided to live 
            F                                    C 
It for yourself you felt, you just felt it was time 
          Am                   G            F        C 
And I'm glad, cause you with cats, that's just not right
[Refrain]
C 
Like the Dead Sea 
                             F

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

The nicest words you ever said to me

F 
You're the message I was heeding 
D 
Would you stay, 
G 
Would you stay the night?
