Bm                          G
 I spent my time here just holding on
D                       Em
 Afraid to let go, the weight's swinging in my soul
Bm                         G
 No time for shaking this heavy load

 Before I take myself down, sinking like a stone

Gonna be the death of me
          Bm
'Cause a ghost is in the water

And it's haunted by the future

Gotta leave himself to nature

Gotta take me to the sea

Bm                        G
 I'm going down with the waterfall

 Heading to places they haven't made a record for
Bm                        G
 Keep on the good side of every low
D                       Em
 Nowhere to hide, no horizon, nowhere to go

Sometimes I feel you with me
