Capo 4
Verse 1:
G C
My tears are cutting through this page like
G C G
Razor blades falling from my cheeks,
C G
And I can't speak but they they do it for me
G C G
Well I swim in the ocean of utter devotion
C G
And I can only hope you'll swim too
C
Even though the waters are deep
G C
And the clouds are rolling through
[Refrão]
G C Am
I can feel the wind its pushing me
G C D
And I can feel that I am sinking slowly
G C Am
And as I lose control
G
I know I'll never stop
C G
Holding on on.
Verse 2:
G C
Call it a blessing, call it a curse,
G
call it what you will
C
There's somthing worse than persistence
G C
But im searching still.
G C G
See there i go again refusing To give in, to the
C G
Possibility of losing my ability to think
C
Or to hide but here I am opened wide
G
Take a look and make it fast,
C
One quick look it better last because
[Refrão]
G C Am
And I can feel the wind its pushing me
G C D
And I can feel that I am sinking slowly
G C Am
And as I lose control
G
I know I'll never stop
C G
Holding on on.
Verse 3
G C
The animal in me says
G C
Survival, Survival, Survive
G C
But the romantic in me says
G C
Just be alive!
[Refrão]
G C Am
So I let the wind blow
G C D
And I let myself sink slow
G C Am
And when I lost control
G
I knew I'd never stop
C G
Holding on.
