Verse: 1 
C              G 
You hold on to me 
        D 
Like an anchor in the water 
C               G 
You told me you feel 
               D 
You're feeling colder than the water

C                  G 
Float with me, you me 
          D 
To let me hold you like the water 
        C                    G 
There's hope when we see the lights 
       D 
Of the city on the water 


       C 
Now we never saw it coming 
    G 
Our lies revert to nothing 
     Em                     F 
It's alright if I still got you 
         C 
And I'll never stop running

I'm trying to recover 
     Em                       F 
That feeling of when I'm with you

What comes between us

Is like wire on the border 
       C               G 
You're close enough to feel 
           D 
But you're tied up with your people 

     C                  G 
It's much, too much for me 
          D 
When your world's upon my shoulders 
  C                  G 
I don't believe they know 
          D 
What it's like out on the water

Bridge 
C             G 
I don't think we

Could feel anymore unwanted

Feel her heart sink 
   D 
To depths you can't imagine
