Intro:

G


Verse 1:
G
Something 'bout crimson leaves makes me want a cigarette
Em
Jean jacket, rolled up sleeves, could almost, but I can't see it
    C                                                  G
The lines beside your eyes as you share a crooked grin
D

Honey, I been missing you in the quiet space I'm in
  G
October's towering over me, clock is tick-tocking
        Em
There's ties to bind and words to string, time is running out on me
  C
I wondered for a moment, "Is stress all this life can bring?
           D
Will there ever come a day when the alarms no longer ring "


Chorus:
D            C   D           G
I'm losing myself, losing my life
      D/F#          Em
Why's it so hard to find
  C
A lifeline to hold onto when the waters start to rise?
    D                                          G
I'm always in the middle of the deep end in my mind


Verse 2:
G
A sweet, thin autumn breeze swirls herself around me
Em
Bringing with her dreams of the children we used to be
            C
Well, those kids grew up to do exactly what they always knew
            D
Now they're holding it together with sickle sticks and glue
        G                                                  D
Well, I see the world different now, the rose glasses have faded
        Em
And the world that I now know has left me frustrated
     C
I've asked why a thousand times, I'm sure they've been returned
   D
In ways I haven't realized or things I've yet to learn


Chorus:
D                   C   D          G
Well, I'm losing myself, losing my life
      D/F#          Em
Why's it so hard to find
  C
A lifeline to hold onto when the waters start to rise?
    D                                          G    D G G
I'm always in the middle of the deep end in my mind


Bridge:
D       C
Oh, I'm tired of treading water
     D
God, I'm not getting stronger
          Em
Won't you lend me a hand
    C
And pull me back in


Out-Chorus:
                    C    D          G
'Cause I'm losing myself, losing my life
      D/F#          Em
Why's it so hard to find
  C
A lifeline to hold onto when the waters start to rise?
    D                                          Em
I'm always in the middle of the deep end in my mind
