Verse 1:
@ F Am
Tonight will be
@ F Am
the night that we
@ F Am
begin to ease
@ G F
the plugs out of the dam
@ F Am
And we will stand
@ F Am
knee deep in the flow
@ F Am
the undertow
@ G F
will grab our heels and won't let go
@ F Am
And while we hold
@ F Am
our legs quivering
@ F Am
the water rises now
@ G F
to our teeth when we just let go
Chorus:
C G/B Am
and sail belly up to the clouds
F
the rocks scraping our backs
G
To breath in the air will be
G(hold) @ F
the only thing that we have
Verse 2:
Am @ F @
and all the wasted nights
@ F Am
and empty moments in our lives
@ G F
flushed away as we sway with the rhythm
@ F Am
of the waves
@ F Am
bobbing us up
@ F Am @
Crests fall to troughs we feel
G F
our gills open up
(Repeat Chorus 1 except last line)
G Am
the only thing that we have
Bridge:
Em F
and if the hook sets in
G Am
the bottom of our lungs,
Em
we'll rip it out and
F G F(hold)
lick the blood off with our tongues
Interlude: F--Am @ F Am
Verse 3:
The despair
@ F Am
can ravage you
@ F Am @ G
if you turn your head around
F
to look down the path
@ F Am
that's led you here
@ F Am
cause what can you change?
@ F Am
You're a vessel now
@ G F
floating down the waterways
@ F Am
You can take your rudder
@ F Am
and aim your ship
@ F Am @
just don't bother with
G F
the things left in your wake
(Repeat Chorus 1 except last line)
G C
the only thing that we have
Chorus 2:
G/B Am
and your love will be warm nights
F
with pockets of moonlight
G
spotlighting you as you drift
C
the actor in this play
Chorus 3:
G/B Am
And you walk across the stage
F
take a bow, hear the applause
G
and as the curtain falls
C
just know you did it all
Chorus 4:
G/B Am
the best that you knew how
F
and you can hear them cheering now
G
So let a smile out and show your teeth
C(hold)-Am(hold)-F(hold)
cause you know you lived it well
Outro: G(hold)-C(hold)
