In the song, only the F#m pattern is ever played more than once in a row - the other chords only play a
single version of the patterns above.

N.C. F F#m
The sun has hardly warmed the water when it crashes on the sand
F#m F F#m
You hoped it would be warmer, you say, pulling out your hand
Interlude:

Verse 2:
F#m F F#m
The warmer waters get the more the oceans expand
F#m F F#m
You told me first and then I didn't really understand
Verse 3:
F#m C F#m
If I could turn back time
F#m C B F F#m
I would and Iβd be good I would always be kind
F#m C F#m
To you
F#m C F#m
To you
Verse 4:
F#m F F#m
You say "Look at this, the world still spins and beauty will never go

It was there before and will be there more when thereβs no eye to behold"
Interlude:
F#m C F#m C F#m
Verse 5:
F#m F F#m
How suitable, you the buoy, you arms like silver fins
F#m F F#m
Your head afloat the golden glow of waves crashing in
Verse 6:
F#m C F#m
If I could make this last
F#m C B F F#m
Take more of this moment Trade in some of my past
F#m C F#m
You swim
F#m C F#m
You swim
F#m C B F F#m
You in it all, and letting it all in
