[Intro]
C

[Verse 1]
C
I’ve been trying to tell you
F C
But I just don’t have the words
F G
Love is not an ocean or a panicking bird
C
It’s dancing and beating the drum
F G
Staring down the sights along the barrel of a gun
F G
Less the parts and more the sum

{Chorus]
C F
So hold your breath underwater
G C
‘Til you’re strong enough to swim
F
Past the edge, so much farther
G C
Than you have ever been

C

[Verse 2]
C
Call me, call me by my name
F G
Heaven knows that I’ve been carrying the shame
C
Of trying, but never hard enough
F G
Always folded when the dealer called my bluff, I
F C
Always wanted something better
F G
Always out of reach, so I’ll

[Chorus]
C F
Hold my breath underwater
G C
‘Til I’m strong enough to swim
F
Past the edge, so much farther
G C
Than I have ever been
C F
I confess I’m scared of drowning
G
Just like I’ve always been
C F
But all of this is meaningless
G F
If I’m afraid of diving in

C F
So hold your breath underwater
G C
‘Til you’re strong enough to swim
F
Past the edge, so much farther
G C
Than you have ever been
C F
I confess I’m scared of drowning
G
Just like I’ve always been
C F
But all of this is meaningless
G F
If I’m afraid of diving in
