Asus2 Fmaj7b5
innocent , they swim

Asus2
i tell them ’no’

Fmaj7b5
they just dive right in

G
but do they know?

Em F
it’s a long way down

G
when you’re alone

Em F
and there’s no air or sound

G ( pause )
down below the surface

Am G C
there’s something in the water

Em F
i do not feel safe

G C
it always feels like torture

E Am
to be this close

G C
i wish that i was stronger

Em F
i’d separate the waves

G C
not just let the water

E
take me away

Asus2 Fmaj7b5

Asus2 Fmaj7b5
there was a time i’d dip my feet

Asus2 Fmaj7b5
and it would roll off my skin

Asus2 Fmaj7b5
now every time i get close to the edge

Asus2 Fmaj7b5
i’m scared of falling in

G Em F
’cause i don’t want to be stranded again

G
on my own

Em F
when the tide comes in

G ( pause )
and pulls me below the surface

Am G C
there’s something in the water

Em F
i do not feel safe

G C
it always feels like torture

E Am
to be this close

G C
i wish that i was stronger

Em F
i’d separate the waves

G C
not just let the water

E
take me away
