Bm  F#m      G        D 
Follow your heart, he said 
G               D        A 
Your heart will take you there 
Bm  F#m     G          D 
Swallow your pride, he said 
G           D             A 
For pride is anything but rare 
Bm   F#m      G       D    G      D          A 
So I walked into your eyes without a raincoat on 
Bm  F#m    G    D     G            D        A 
And in the salty sea, I find you're all but gone 

G      A      F#m             Bm 
Take my hand, you're treading water 
    G      A    F#m      G              G        A 
And I feel sand slipping away from underneath my toes 
F#m    G 
Nobody knows 
      F#m       G 
Where is it she goes 

Bm F#m G D 
G D A 

Bm     F#m  G          D 
Looked in the bathroom stall 
G           D         A 
Your back against the wall 
Bm   F#m   G            D 
Cold tiles beneath your knees 
G         D          A 
Your body broke your fall 
Bm  F#m   G        D   G          D      A 
Spitting into your own reflection gazing back 
Bm F#m      G         D      G          D        A 
Inside your porcelain fists, your palms begin to crack 

G        A       F#m             Bm 
So take my hand, you're treading water 
    G      A    F#m      G              G        A 
And I feel sand slipping away from underneath my toes 
F#m    G 
Nobody knows 
      F#m       G 
Where is it she goes 
F#m            G            F#m   G 
When those sad eyes start to close 
F#m    G 
Nobody knows 
      F#m       G 
Where is it she goes 
Em         G        Bm 
When those sad eyes close
