  			              Am 
I'm losing my faith again, losing my open hand 

Losing my how and why, losing my great divide 
                           G    F 
And in this world where we are, who can say what's going too far? 
Am                G             F               E 
You punch out the windows baby, I slash all the tires 


                 Am       G                F           G 
I'm feeling that undertow, like maybe it's time to go 
                Am           G               F        G 
It's getting so sick and thin, getting right under my skin 
G7          C            G     F              G 
And in this song that we sing, who could ever point to one thing? 
Am               G            F             E 
You are still in hiding baby, I am still on fire 



    Am            F 
Waiting under the waves 
    Am            F 
Waiting under the waves 
    Am    G       D/F#         F 
Waiting under the waves to be saved 
         Am               G                  D/F#             F 
And I am sorry that we're sinking, but we're sinking just the same 


              Am          G           F           G 
I'm losing my faith in you, losing my balance too 
            Am           G            F           G 
How does it get so wrong, how does it all take so long 
G7          C            G     F                G             Am 
And in this time that we live, who could find a way to give a damn 
            G               F               E 
That we are drowning in two separate stormy seas? 



    Am            F 
Waiting under the waves 
    Am            F 
Waiting under the waves 
    Am    G       D/F#         F 
Waiting under the waves to be saved 
         Am               G                  D/F#             F 
And I am sorry that we're sinking, but we're sinking just the same 


Bridge: 
                  G            Am              G 
Darling don't you ever wonder, if we two could both slip under? 
F                 G                 A 
Learn to sink and learn to swim and breathe again? (and breathe again) 


INTERLUDE: Am  G  F  G  Am  G  F  G 


G7        C             G    F              G               Am 
All these tears that we cry, who can say if we will live or die 
         G             F               E 
Stand or fall, live in love or none at all? 


OUTRO:   
    Am            F 
Waiting under the waves 
    Am            F 
Waiting under the waves 
    Am            F 
Waiting under the waves 
    Am            F 
Waiting under the waves 
    Am            F 
Waiting under the waves 
    Am            F 
Waiting under the waves
