Intro: Em 

Verse 1:
 
Em 
 The water was getting higher and higher 

 My arms kept getting more and more tired 
Am 
 And the harder I would try, the further I would dive down 
Em 
 So I gave up and I finally let go 

 Stop trying to save myself and be my own hero 
Am 
 And when I opened my eyes, that's when I realized 

 You were there the whole time 



[Refrão]
 
            C   B 
 I've got a lifeline 
 Em              G 
 Waiting for me, ready to save 
 C   B 
 Lifeline 
 Em            G 
 This is gonna be my escape 
 C   B 
 Lifeline 
 Em           D      C B 
 Never giving up on me 

 You are my lifeline 


Verse 2:
 
Em 
 I thought that I was too far gone to be rescued 

 But it seems I underestimated You 
Am 
 It's nothing to You, it's too much for me 

 It's over my head, but it's under Your feet 



Bridge:
 
Em 
 Lifeline 

 I thought it was over 

 I thought I was through 

 Then I saw You and I knew 
  C             B        
 (This is gonna be my escape) 
Em 
 Lifeline 

 I thought it was over 

 I thought I was through 

 Then I saw You and I knew 
  C             D 
 (This is gonna be my escape) 


Chorus (2x) (Speed Back Up)
