F#m                         A 
It's the glare from the reflection 
F#m                      A 
Making patterns in your eye 
F#m                      A 
It's the looking back in anger 
F#m                        A 
With every second slipping by 
F#m                   A 
Undertow has come to take me 
F#m                   A 
Guided by the blazing sun 
F#m                  A 
Look at everything around us 
    F#m                         A 
Well, look at everything we've done 

E              B 
Please, anyone 
                D               F#m 
I don't think I can save myself 
F#m 
I'm drowning here 
E              B 
Please, anyone 
                D               F#m 
I don't think I can save myself 

F#m                   A 
There's a tiny little window 
F#m                        A 
Swarms of locusts fill the sky 
F#m               A 
Maybe I just disappear 
         F#m                    A 
If I can keep my head above the tide 
    
E              B 
Please, anyone 
                D               F#m 
I don't think I can save myself 
F#m 
I'm drowning here 
E              B 
Please, anyone 
                D               F#m 
I don't think I can save myself
