Intro: G C G C
Verse
G Em C
The waves crash over me again and again
G Em C
There's a storm approaching land
G Em C
And I'm so far out in the undertow
G Em C
Blindly praying for the sand
Em C G D
I built a boat that caused my sinking
Em D C
Nothing to blame but my own hands
Em C G D
The final lifeboat has been taken
Em D C
And I find I'm playing with the band
G Em C
This song for you
G Em C
This song for you
Verse
G Em C
When we first met I held a hammer in my hands
G Em C
A box of nails I used before
G Em C
Turns out the woodshed now is empty
G Em C
I didn't know the job in store
Em C G D
I thought the plans I drew were carefully drawn
Em D C
But alas, I'm just a fool
Em C G D
And now I'm drowning in my sorrow
Em D C
Like when a builder blames his tools
G Em C
And sings his song for you
G Em C
Singing his song for you
Verse
G Em C
"Find what you love and let it kill you"
G Em C
But I have always been unsure
G Em C
If this was spoken by a mad man
G Em C
Or by a doctor with a cure
Em C G D
So as I am fighting with the ocean
Em D C
Too soon to tell if I'll survive
Em C G D
Will I meet you underwater?
Em D C
Will we be swallowed by the tide?
G Em C
And drown in this song
G Em C
Drown in this song for you
