VERSE 1:
A C#m
My voice went missing in and under
D A E
The rattle of the freeway wheels and silent brickhouses
A C#
Don't let me go that way I've been down dead end roads
D A E
Too many times already I ought to know where they go
BRIDGE:
Bm D A
The doubts that you listen to at night
Bm C#m D Dm
Are the tides that wash you out into the ocean
[Refrão]
A E Bm D
We've gone way too far
A E Bm
To watch these dreams drown now
A E Bm D
Come on, just a little further
A E Bm
We're almost to the shore
C#m Bm A
Just keep your head above the water
VERSE 2:
A C#m
The sun comes in through poplar branches
D A E
Shining on an empty easel, a blank white canvas
A C#m
With a mind that sharpens in-to rusty knives
D A E
That cut you hard and leave you wandering alone in the dark
Bm D A
The doubts that you listen to at night
Bm C#m D Dm
Are the tides that wash you out into the ocean
A E Bm D
We've gone way too far
A E Bm
To watch these dreams drown now
A E Bm D
Come on, just a little further
A E Bm
We're almost to the shore
C#m Bm A
Just keep your head above the water
