VERSE

Em7                                 D          Dsus2     D 
Smooth stones down by the waterside give in to ebb and flow 
Em7                                      D        Dsus2    D 
Collide in blindness embrace and part no fear of letting go 
Em7                                                    Dsus2 
There's no fight to get ahead, nowhere that they'd rather be 



A           Em        G            D 
Safe in the arms of surrender and certainty 
A           Em         G                D 
Caught in a moment and sure they'll be carried 
A             Em         G       D          Bm   A  G  D   A 
Take me back down to the water to feel that sure of anything 


VERSE:
 
Em7                                              D        Dsus2 
I write your name down in the swollen sand and I walk out in the waves 
Em7                                         D              Dsus2 
I know you're here I feel you all around me in this sea of soothing grey 
Em7                                                Dsus2 
I don't even feel the cold it's warm as you wash over me 



A           Em        G            D 
Safe in the arms of surrender and certainty 
A           Em         G                D 
Caught in a moment and sure I'll be carried 
A             Em         G       D          Bm   A   G  D   Aadd4 
Take me back down to the water to feel that sure of anything

VERSE:

Em7                                              D       Dsus2       
Rain like tears stream down the windshield as we pull out on the road 
Em7                                          D        Dsus2          
You were the star by which I light my way so how do I find my way now 



A           Em        G            D 
Back in the arms of surrender and certainty 
A           Em          G                D 
Caught in a moment and sure we'll be carried 
A        Em7          G            D       Bm   A   G  D   A 
I wanna know what it feels like to be that sure of anything
