Verse 1:
 
F            C 
 Flood gates, can't wait 
Dm 
 Here she comes, shut'em fast 
Bb 
 Better shut'em fast 
F         C 
 Too late, swept away 
Dm             Bb 
 Feel the rush after the fact 


Pre-chorus:
 
Eb           Bb 
 Coming up beneath me 
Cm                     Ab 
 Never been in love so deeply before 



[Refrão]
 
G                 D 
 I am close to the waterline 
Em                               C 
 I thought that I'd been over my head 

For the last time 
G                   D 
 I'm so close to the waterline 
Em 
 And the way i'm loving her now 
C 
 I know this is bound to go down as the big one 


Verse 2:
 
F              C 
 Whistle blast, lights flash 
Dm 
 Throw a rope, grab a hold 
Bb 
Feel the undertow 
F           C 
 She laughs, waves crash 
Dm                Bb 
 What's the use I can't let her go 


Pre-chorus: 

Eb           Bb 
 Coming up beneath me 
Cm                     Ab 
 Never been in love so deeply before
