– – verse 1 – –

Dm C
you bow your head
G Am Dm
in shame of all the things you’ve said and done .
C
i bow my head
G Am Dm
to feel his grace and to embrace his son .
C
i Am far
G Am Dm
so very far from worthy of his love .
C
they try to break me
G Am Dm
but through him i can always rise above ,
C G
and breathe .

– – chorus – –

Am G
keep your head above the water
F
these waves are getting taller .
C Dm Am
pulling you down , down .

– – verse 2 – –

Dm C
your heart it likes
G Am Dm
the feeling of indifference fills your mind .
C
you can’t rely ,
G Am Dm
recall the life of faith you’ve left behind .
C G
who it hides ,
Am Dm C G
you could almost cry .

– – chorus – –
. . .

Am G
don’t deny your father ,
F
he’s your way out of this water ,
C Dm Am Am
that’s pulling you down , down .

Dm Am G Dm Am G

Dm Am G Dm Am G
tell him to wait , he’s waiting for you .
( tell him to wait , he’s waiting for you to call , he’ll catch you and
lift your head up and breathe , on solid ground , he’s there and waiting )

– – chorus – –
. . .

Am G
he will never leave you ,
F
don’t let this world decieve you
C Dm Am
and bring you down , down .

Am G
your head’s above the water
( keep your head above the water )
F
and everything seems smaller
C Dm Am G F C Dm Am
you’re not going down . . .
( these waves are getting so much stronger )
