Verse :
E              E/G#   A
   Pardon me my mistake
               E         G#      A
   Thought it might turn for a break
                 C#m     G#m   A
   But since the rain loves my face
               E  -   A
   I'll let it be




                  E        E/G#    A
   Long since I gave up on long walks
           E       G#    A
   To make up for long talks
                    C#m/E    B/E    A/E           E     A
   Cause lately the silence won't stop talking at me

Chorus:
                 B             A
(And/Cause)  I'm getting weary waiting for
     E                     B  Bsus2
the harbor lights to change
         F#m             A
I've forgotten what I do it for
        E                   B
but I tread water just the same
       E - F#/E - C#m/E - B/E             E - F#/E - C#m/E - B/E
I tread water                 I tread water




Verse :
               E       E/G#       A
Thought I've earned my fair share
           E     G#  A
heard the devil may care
       C#m          B            A
but I called him up he's not there
                E
what does that mean?


Chorus:
                 B             A
(And/Cause)  I'm getting weary waiting for
     E                     B  Bsus2
the harbor lights to change
         F#m             A
I've forgotten what I do it for
        E                   B
but I tread water just the same
       E - F#/E - C#m/E - B/E             E - F#/E - C#m/E - B/E
I tread water                 I tread water


Bridge:
   C#m         F#          A   G#
Thought that life would lead
C#m         F#      A   G#
far from beauty's beast
C#m        F#        A                 F#
well    I know at least   you can't count me out
           A                     B
cause I'm used to the water now


Interlude:
    E E A
    E G# A
    C#m B A
    E E A


Chorus:
                 B             A
(And/Cause)  I'm getting weary waiting for
     E                     B  Bsus2
the harbor lights to change
         F#m             A
I've forgotten what I do it for
        E                   B
but I tread water just the same


          F#m             A              E       B                Bsus2
and I'll never let this pair of hands forget to pull their weights
                     F#m               A                E                B B2
it's burdened maybe more than I would like to bear but less than I can take
                  E - F#/E - C#m/E - B/E
and I'll tread water

tread water   tread water  tread water
