Verse 1:
Am
If I stop moving
  F
I think I might drown
    Am                       G
I'd sink to the floor of the sea




Am
Water on all sides
       F
Weight pulling me down
       Am                            G7
But at least pushing forward's still me, and

Chorus 1:
C F
Ohhh
  Am                       G
I can't bear to give up on me
       C F
'Cause ohhh
    Am                         G
One day I could live, not just be

    Am
And forward is hard
    F
But backwards is worse
         Dm                           G7
When you hear the depths calling your name

   C F
So ohhh
Am                      G
I'll just keep moving today

C F Am G

Verse 2:
    Am
The air here is heavy
     F
I forgot how to breathe
        Am                      G
And I'm not even sure my heart pumps

    Am
But you say I'll get there
     F
I'll see what you see
        Am                           G7
So I'll count breaths until that day comes

Chorus 2:

And ohhh
  Am                       G
I can't bear to give up on me
       C F
'Cause ohhh
        Am                          G
You say one day I'll live, not just be

    Am
And forward is hard
    F
But backwards is worse
      Dm                        G7
And I feel hope when I see your face

   C F
So ohhh
Am                      G
I'll just keep moving today

C F Am G

Bridge:
  Am*
I feel myself waver
  F*
I wobble and slow
    Am*
You say I'll get better
    F*
But how could you know?

        Am*      Am*
And the water is cold here
  F*            F*
I think I'll go numb
        Am*           Am*
What if that makes me forget
        F*            F*
What it feels like to run?

        Am              Am*
And you say that you're here
        F               F*
And you say that you're strong
        Am            Am*
But how could you put up
          F          F*
I've been gasping so long

      Am
And I feel my strength fading
    F
I'm sinking too far
      Am
And I promise I'm trying
    F
But fuck it's so hard

      Am*
And I think this is goodbye
  F*
I think that I'm done
        Am*
But you ask me to stay
    F*
You ask me to stay
    Am*
You ask me to stay
    F*
You ask me to stay
    N.C.
You ask me to stay, so

Chorus 3:
C F
Ohhh
          Am                   G
I'm gonna try not to give up today
       C F
'Cause ohhh
          Am                      G
This sunk cost is more than I can pay

    Am
And forward's so hard
    F
But losing is worse
        Dm                      G7
And I'm sure no matter what you say

     C F
If I drown
     Am                  G   F
I'll have only myself to blame
