Intro: Bb 

        Bb                       F/A 
Take a breath; take a long look around 
           Gm 
Before you step 
           Eb 
'Cause the tide is coming 
               Bb 
Swallowing the ground- 
    F/A               F               Gm 
And there's no way to tell if we will drown tonight 
            Eb6 Eb7 
Or we'll be found tonight 

        Bb            F/A 
Come in close; if the current gets us 
                Gm 
Then it gets us both 
             Eb 
And we can't wait here anymore 

          Gm7                 Eb7 
So if the waves come, let 'em take us 
        Bb                         Fsus4        F 
As they cover you and me, and they pull us underneath 

            Gm7           Eb      Bb/D         F/C 
I hope that fate will forgive us for tempting the sea 
            Gm7           Eb7 
I hope that they won't forget us 
        Bb                  F/A 
But we can't go back to the way it used to be 

( Gm  Eb ) 

        Bb         F/A 
Take it in; take a good look at 
                   Gm 
What it might have been. 
         Eb                         Bb 
As we're swept into the water from the shore 
                F/A                             Gm 
Because there's no way they can tell us that we can't have more 
           Eb 
Because we can have more 

       Gm7                 Eb7 
As the waves come, let 'em take us 
        Bb                         Fsus4        F 
As they cover you and me, and they pull us underneath 

            Gm7           Eb          Bb/D     F/C 
I hope that fate will forgive us for tempting the sea 
            Gm7           Eb7 
I hope that they won't forget us 
        Bb                 F/A 
No we can't go back to the way it used to be 

Eb       Bb       F/A        Eb 
So certain, where it would take us 
             Bb      F/A   Gm7 
So sure that we were never lost; 
          F/A     Bb       Eb                 Eb 
To notice whether we'll be drowned tonight or found tonight 

          Gm7                 Eb7 
So as the waves come, let 'em take us 
        Bb                         Fsus4        F 
As they cover you and me, and they pull us underneath 
             Gm7               Eb7 
It takes the shape of who will save us 
        Bb 
When it leaves it's hard to know 
      Fsus4            F 
But I will not let you go 

            Gm7           Eb      Bb/D         F/C 
I hope that fate will forgive us for tempting the sea 
            Gm7           Eb7 
I hope that they won't forget us 
      Bb                   F/A 
No we can't go back to the way it used to be 

( Gm  Eb  Bb  F/A ) 

            Gm7           Eb7 
I hope that they won't forget us 
      Bb                   F/A            Eb 
No we can't go back to the way it used to be
