Em
I hold your wrist
F#
You bite your lip
C B
The push becomes an embrace
Em
I touch your face
F#
You close your eyes
C B
The embrace becomes a shove
Em
I walk away
F#
You follow too close
C
The shove takes hold
B
And there’s nowhere to go
Em F# G E
Take it down, Take it all the way
Am B C B B/A Em
Take it down, Take it all the way down below the waterline
Em
I see you now
F#
Through a glass wall
C
All that is you stays with you
B
All that is me stays with me
Em
But we see it all
F#
We feel it all
C B
And there is no place we can't go
Em F# G E
Take it down, Take it all the way
Am B C B B/A B B/A Em
Take it down, Take it all the way down below, down below the waterline
