Verse 1
Fmaj7
Grew up by the ocean.
G6
Seekin' out the blue in the shades of grey, like a poem
Fmaj7
Or soliloquies, it was only me in a broken home
G6
So I'd spend my nights sittin', watchin' tides ever flowin'
Drinkin' and smokin'
Pre-Chorus
Fmaj7
A third divorce, it rained and poured
Am G6
And I got high to feel somethin'
Fmaj7 Am G6
The sea is wild and volatile, I used to live in fear of it.
(Yeah)
Chorus
Fmaj7
But now I run like water
Am G6
Let currents pull me far from shore
Fmaj7
I anchor down and I swim
Am
In the eyes of my daughter, I'm beautiful
G6 Fmaj7
I rise and fall like water, like a waterfall
Post-Chorus
Am
I rise and fall like water, like a waterfall
G6 Fmaj7
I rise and fall like water, like water
Verse 2
Fmaj7
Now I live by the river
G6
The water's stained, but it couldn't be any clearer
Fmaj7
I don't love this town, but I'm here so I don't have to miss her
G6
Could be guilt 'cause I don't know if I'll ever give her a sister
But I'll love her till the waves pull me under
Pre-Chorus
Fmaj7 Am G6
My ego I have laid to rest, I resurrect to be somethin', hmm
Fmaj7 Am G6
The sea is wild and volatile, I used to live in fear of it.
(Yeah)
Chorus
Fmaj7
But now I run like water
Am G6
Let currents pull me far from shore
Fmaj7
I anchor down and I swim
Am
In the eyes of my daughter, I'm beautiful
G6 Fmaj7
I rise and fall like water, like a waterfall
Post-Chorus
Am
I rise and fall like water, like a waterfall
G6 Fmaj7
I rise and fall like water, like a waterfall
Am
I rise and fall like water, like a waterfall
G6 Fmaj7
I rise and fall like water, like water
