Verse 1:
C
I'm just a normal boy
Who sank when I fell overboard
My ship would leave country
but I'd rather swim ashore
Am
without a lifevest I'd be stuck again
wish I was much more masculine
maybe even I could learn to swim
Am7
like fourteen miles away
F
now floating up and down
I spin colliding into sound
like whales beneath me diving down
I'm sinking to the bottom
C
of my everything that freaks me out
the lighthouse beam has just run out
I'm cold as cold as cold can be... be
CHORUS
C
I want to swim away but don't know how

Somtimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean
Am
let the waves up take me down
Am7
let the hurricane set in motion, yeah

let the rain of what I feel right now come down...
let the rain come down
Verse 2:
C
Where is the coastguard
I keep looking each direction
for a spotlight give, me something
I need something for protection
Am
mabye flotsam junk will do just fine
the jetsam sank left me behind
I'm treading for my life, believe me
how can I keep up this breathing
F
not knowing how to think
I scream aloud begin to sink
my legs and arms are broken down
with envy for the solid ground
C
I'm reaching for the life within me
how can one man stop his ending
I thought of just your face
relaxed and floated into space
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
C
now waking to the sun
I calculate what I have done
like jumping from the bow, yeah
just to prove that I knew how, yeah
Am
it's midnight's late reminder
of the loss of her, the one I love
my will to quickly end it all
sat front row in my need to fall
F
into the ocean end it all {x4}
C
into the ocean end it, ...all
(Chorus)
C-Am-F
Into space..............I thought of just your face
