F#m A
It's the glare from the reflection
F#m A
Making patterns in your eye
F#m A
It's the looking back in anger
F#m A
With every second slipping by
F#m A
Undertow has come to take me
F#m A
Guided by the blazing sun
F#m A
Look at everything around us
F#m A
Well, look at everything we've done
E B
Please, anyone
D F#m
I don't think I can save myself
F#m
I'm drowning here
E B
Please, anyone
D F#m
I don't think I can save myself
F#m A
There's a tiny little window
F#m A
Swarms of locusts fill the sky
F#m A
Maybe I just disappear
F#m A
If I can keep my head above the tide
E B
Please, anyone
D F#m
I don't think I can save myself
F#m
I'm drowning here
E B
Please, anyone
D F#m
I don't think I can save myself
