Rocky Votolato - Above The Water

artist : rocky votolato
album : television of saints
song : above the water

verse 1 :
A C#m
my voice went missing in and under
D A E
the rattle of the freeway wheels and silent brickhouses
A C#
don’t let me go that way i’ve been down dead end roads
D A E
too many times already i ought to know where they go

bridge :
Bm D A
the doubts that you listen to at night
Bm C#m D Dm
are the tides that wash you out into the ocean

chorus :
A E Bm D
we’ve gone way too far
A E Bm
to watch these dreams drown now
A E Bm D
come on , just a little further
A E Bm
we’re almost to the shore
C#m Bm A
just keep your head above the water

verse 2 :
A C#m
the sun comes in through poplar branches
D A E
shining on an empty easel , a blank white canvas
A C#m
with a mind that sharpens in – to rusty knives
D A E
that cut you hard and leave you wandering alone in the dark

Bm D A
the doubts that you listen to at night
Bm C#m D Dm
are the tides that wash you out into the ocean

A E Bm D
we’ve gone way too far
A E Bm
to watch these dreams drown now
A E Bm D
come on , just a little further
A E Bm
we’re almost to the shore
C#m Bm A
just keep your head above the water
