VERSE:
Ebm
Drip drop the rain is falling
Ebm
I hear it all could flood
 B
One rainy night away
     Bbm             B
From losing all you love


PRE-CHORUS:
        Ebm                Gb
It`s a brilliant game you play
         Ebm            Gb
When you lock yourself away
        Abm               Db    B   Bbm
And you make me fight for you, you, you


CHORUS:
        Ebm
I can`t keep you above water
         Gb
I can`t drag your soul to shore
           Db
Don`t know how to fix a sinking ship
    B           Db
Or win a losing war

        Ebm
It`s a heavy load to carry
       Gb
And I can`t hold on much more
        Db
On the surface it looks perfect
      B                Db       Ebm  Ebm
Underneath it`s just a perfect storm


VERSE:
 Ebm
I`ve so much more to tell you
 Ebm
We`re running out of time
      B
It`s dark and dangerous treading
 Bbm            B
Oceans in your mind

        Ebm
Up all night, I held your hand
           Ebm
While you wandered in the dark
         B
You know I can`t make you better
             Bbm            B
When all you want to be is lost


PRE-CHORUS:
        Ebm                Gb
It`s a brilliant game you play
         Ebm            Gb
When you lock yourself away
        Abm               Db
And you make me fight for you,
   B             Db
Oh oh, fight for you


CHORUS:
        Ebm
I can`t keep you above water
         Gb
I can`t drag your soul to shore
           Db
Don`t know how to fix a sinking ship
    B           Db
Or win a losing war

        Ebm
It`s a heavy load to carry
       Gb
And I can`t hold on much more
        Db
On the surface it looks perfect
      B                Db        B  Db  Ebm  Ebm
Underneath it`s just a perfect storm

B  Db  Ebm  Ebm


BREAK:
B    Db               Ebm        Ebm
  I can`t survive for both of us
B    Db                  Ebm   Ebm
  I can`t hold back the waves
     B           Db             Ebm        Ebm
This ocean isn`t big enough for both of us
      B            Db        Ebm  Ebm
I`ll let the water carry me away

     (B)           (Db)     (Ebm)  (Ebm)
I`ll let the water carry me away


CHORUS:
        Ebm
I can`t keep you above water
         Gb
I can`t drag your soul to shore
           Db
Don`t know how to fix a sinking ship
    B           Db
Or win a losing war

        Ebm
It`s a heavy load to carry
       Gb
And I can`t hold on much more
        Db
On the surface it looks perfect
      B                Db       Ebm   Gb
Underneath it`s just a perfect storm


OUTRO:
        Db
On the surface it looks perfect
      B                Db       Ebm   Gb
Underneath it`s just a perfect storm

        Db
On the surface it looks perfect
      B                Db       Ebm
Underneath it`s just a perfect storm
