Intro:
C  C  C  C
 
C
  My arms are tired and weary
C                    G      F
  These wounds are on full display
C                 F          C
  I've tried every door in the hallway
Am                G          F      C
   There's just nowhere that I feel safe
 
 
Chorus:
C
  I see the light but never find the surface
C                      G      F
  I don’t know if I can swim no more
C
  White knuckles and wild horses
Am               G          F       C
   One day we'll wash up on mercy’s shore
Am               G          F       C
   One day we'll wash up on mercy’s shore

Post-Chorus:
C
Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
C     F       C
  Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
 
 
Verse 1:
C
 I'm lost in the waves that crush me
C                          G       F
 They bring discovery where darkness hides
 
Just over the ridge in front of you
Am         G                    F       C
   Another mountain that you'll have to climb
 
 
Chorus:
C
  I see the light but never find the surface
C                       G       F
  I don’t know if I can swim no more
C                   F
  White knuckles and wild horses
Am               G          F       C
   One day we'll wash up on mercy’s shore
Am              G           F       C
   One day we'll wash up on mercy’s shore

Bridge:
Am                      G/B
   We're a child in the car asleep
C                    F
  In the driveway at night
Am                    G/B
   Our mother's gonna slowly sneak
C          F
  Our body inside
Am                    G/B
   We can rest in the arms of trust
C                            F
  There's no way that we can say
Am                  G/B
   We've earned our way into light
       C                F    Fsus4 F
All we have to do to is stay
 
 
Chorus:
C
  I see the light but never find the surface
C                      G      F
  I don’t know if I can swim no more
C
  White knuckles and wild horses
Am               G          F       C
   One day we'll wash up on mercy’s shore
Am               G          F       C
   One day we'll wash up on mercy’s shore
 
 
Post-Chorus:

Outro:
Fm                      C
   I've been battling a broken heart
Fm                     C
   Everybody knows I'm torn apart
C                         D
  Since I was eight years old and I thought that
Dm        C
God was a girl in my school huh
Fm                        C
   If we can wind up on a sandy beach
Fm                         C
   Breathin' air that only death can reach
F                             Fm
  And singing songs that only heaven leaves
      C        D
It's okay with me
Fm                          C
   And God is wanting us to make believe
Fm                          C
   But knowing something is only a dream
    F                        Fm
Like   the absolutes and the in-between
    C                D                     Dm
Are out of line, sometimes, intertwined, behind
           C                                          N.C.
A mind, in line, and fights that only fools are still trying to fight
