   F                C 
I know You're in a hurry,  
      F                  C 
And I know it's getting late 
       F                 C 
I know You've got Your reasons  
     G                   F 
For wanting out of this place 

    F                       C 
The bitter wind bites down hard in the evening, 
         F                                 C 
If You'd known You would have changed Your plans, 
  F                      C 
Half Our lives spent crawling and kneeling,  
     G                        
But now We're gonna learn to stand 

         F                   G 
In the cold waves,  In the cold waves 
         F                   G 
In the cold waves,  In the cold waves, We could be drowning  
         Am        C/B  C 
In the cold waves 
         Am        C/B  C 
In the cold waves 

 F                   C 
Before there was an ocean,  
          F                  C 
Before it ever even needed a name 
  F                    C 
I set out to find a reason,  
    G                     F 
To meet You here in this place 

     F                    C 
The summer wind burns My eyes in the morning,  
          F                      C 
So I'm gonna draw a line in the sand, 
 F                     C 
All of My life spent stumbling and falling,  
    G 
But now I'm gonna learn to stand, 

         F                   G 
In the cold waves,  In the cold waves 
         F                   G 
In the cold waves,  In the cold waves, We could be drowning 
         F                   G 
In the cold waves,  In the cold waves. We could be drowning 
         Am       C/B  C         
In the cold waves 
         Am       C/B  
In the cold waves, 

Bb                         F 
Someone's always drifting away,  
Bb                         F 
someone's always drifting away,  
         Bb 
So I say no more drifting,  
                                     F ... 
No more drifting, No more drifting away...

In the cold waves,  In the cold waves 
         F                   G 
In the cold waves,  In the cold waves, We could be drowning 
         Am      C/B  C         
In the cold waves 
         Am      C/B  C  
In the cold waves, 
         Am      C/B          
In the cold waves 

Bb                          
Someone's always drifting  

Someone's always drifting  

Someone's always drifting away 
          
No more drifting, away 
                                      
No more drifting, no more drifting away
