[Verse 1]
Chords have a descending bass line (more obvious on piano)
C G Am
Floating away like love letters taken by a flood
G FMaj7
When he sent the rain to wash away the city
Em Dm7 G
We were building on the garden of an angry god
C G Am
You used to say that discovering me was like a drug
G FMaj7
Every day a little more to keep you hanging on
Em Dm7 G
You never thought you'd run out of the stuff
[Chorus]
C
I'm letting go, now
Am
I become water
G
I hope we end up in the same sea
FMaj7 Em
But it's not up to me
C Am
We want to believe that there is a reason
G
To each thing, a season
FMaj7 Em
Sunshine and rain
Dm7 G
Love, death, and pain
[Bridge]
C FMaj7 x2
[Verse 2]
C G
And now you wanna plant flowers
FMaj7
And read your book of hours
C
You wanna walk around with Jesus
G FMaj7 Am
Like it isn't some disease that you've been born into
C
I saw the fracture lines
FMaj7
In the plaster on the bedroom wall
C
Like the branches of the family
C
To embrace me or to hang me
FMaj7
How could I ever hope to mend them all
C
And now you wanna plant flowers
[Chorus]
C
I'm letting go, now
Am
I become water
G
I hope we end up in the same sea
FMaj7 Em
But it's not up to me
C Am
We want to believe that there is a reason
G
To each thing, a season
FMaj7 Em
Sunshine and rain
Dm7 G
Love, death, and pain
C
Floating away
