We're treading water in the dead of night

Cause you've got me right where you want me

The landscape that we built a home in

Inside of our minds    oooh

We're staring skywards waiting for a sign 
 C                    Em                   D9(11) 
Up to our necks in it 'til the day brings us light 
C                       Em                 D9(11)

Inside of our minds    oooh 

Intro (2x) 

      Am          Em 
So we fall and we break 
       D9(11)         C 
And we make the same mistakes 
       Am      Em      D9(11) 
Like we always, always do 
      Am     Em 
And we crawl, intertwined 
       D9(11)        C 
Forced apart from the inside 
       Am      Em      D9(11) 
Like we always, always knew 

Intro (2x) 

C                         Em      D9(11) 
Twenty seconds on the backlog, overtime 
C                     Em                  D9(11) 
Just twenty seconds 'til you're no longer mine.
