-Look out for how many dashes I put in between the numbers. That lets you know the 
of it.

-Watch the time lengths as well. I count the time by the last strum.

-Look for my ==== breaks, showing a switch from piece to piece.

Lyrics:

If there's a scream inside of you just let it go,
You're beating yourself up baby don't you know,
You've got to get through,
And lift the roof off your soul.

It's like a pain locked in a part of your heart,
It's never gonna leave it,
Unless you start to warm it up,
Be wise and be smart.

Out on the ocean,
There's no one around,
No one to hear a sound it's just us out here,
Out on the ocean,
Speaking freely.

Away from the city,
Away from the ears that,
Bug us and judge us it's so liberating,
To be free,
And my heart slows down.

Nice and easy,
And your breathing will be pleasing,
Just speak easy,
And say what's on your mind,
I search for something to compare you to,
Thought long and hard for a simile true,
Now I'm suddenly aware,
End the quest you're beyond compare,
So speak easy.

If there's a shadow in your life then there's sunshine,
Things turning inside out,
All the time,
Just rewind,
It's all in your mind.

Ooh so speak easy,
Out here we're floating,
Late in the night,
And the only light to guide us is a,
Full moon that's glowing,
On the sea.

Nice and easy,
And your breathing will be pleasing,
Just speak easy,
And say what's on your mind,
I search for something to compare you to,
Thought long and hard for a simile true,
Now I'm suddenly aware,
End the quest you're beyond compare,
So speak easy.

Speak easy,
Speak easy,
Speak easy.
