Intro- 
A E A (x2) 

D                 A   
Floating with the wind, I am drifting East 
D                       A               E                A 
It's like I calmed the ocean still and put the waves to sleep 
D                  A        D               A 
But the tides are changing, No it ain't the same, no 
D            A             E          A 
There lies a faith in the absence of control they say... 


D          A 
One step forth, and I try to get back 
D           A                     E                 A 
A coward's fear on trail with the weakest faith in man 
D                   A        D                  A 
You call me out my comfort, you call me out the boat 
       D       A     E            D 
To walk on my own alone, alone 


     A          E           A           D 
Sometimes I am lost on the open water 
    A          E              A             D 
Sometimes I am thrown by the wind and the waves 
    A           E             A     
Sometimes I'm swimming in the deep end 
      D      A    D       E 
Can I stay Afloat, Stay Afloat 


D             A 
The ocean is deep below my feet 
D                    A          E              A 
Afraid of what's to come, so I slowly start to sink 
D                    A       D            A 
I was waiting for my ending, But then you grab my hand 
         D     A           E             D 
Just like I knew you would, you would 


    A          E           A            D 
Sometimes I am lost on the open water 
    A          E             A            D 
Sometimes I am thrown by the wind and the waves 
    A          E              A        
Sometimes I'm swimming in the deep end 
      D      A      D     E    
Can I stay Afloat, Stay Afloat 


A                                        D           E 
In the rain, there is a storm, barely breathing as I paddle... 
       D              E 
I am sinking- Does it matter? 
       A               D           E            D  
In my final breath, my only hope , you come to save me... 


     
    A          E        D 
Sometimes I'm lost... 
    A          E        D 
Sometimes I'm scared... 
    A          E    
Sometimes I'm swimming on the deep end  
       D     A     D     E      
Can I stay Afloat, Stay Afloat 
D      A D E D 
Stay Afloat 


    A          E           A           D 
Sometimes I am lost on the open water 
    A          E             A             D 
Sometimes I am thrown by the wind and the waves 
    A          E             A         
Sometimes I'm swimming in the deep end 
      D      A     D      E    
Can I stay Afloat, Stay Afloat 
D     A       D     E 
Stay Afloat, Stay Afloat 
D      A   
Stay Afloat
