Em G D Cadd9
[Verso 1]
Em G
Baby sea, bottom blue
D Cadd9
There's a halo over you, so came darling, come darling,
Em G
In my eyes of grey and green
D Cadd9
Did the water call you Queen? so come Darling, come Darling,
Em G
You can bet I'm on the run
D Cadd9
But it's hard to run, when you can't walk
Em G
Then the boat creeks and it moans
D Cadd9 D
And we're on our own, and I'm on my own
[Refrão] short
D Em
This life jacket no longer floats
Cadd9 G D
{Instrumental break}
[Verso 2]
Em G
Amber sea, bottle full
D Cadd9
If I fight against the pull, so come darling, come darling,
Em G
In my mouth a darker word
D Cadd9
Did they shoot down so many of your birds?
Em G
If we are just skin and bone
D
Then why do we break
Cadd9
When we're left alone?
Em G
When we both creak and we moan
D
Should we change the tone?
Cadd9 D
Did I set the tone?
[Refrão]
D Em
This life jacket no longer floats

So keep me and oh, just hold me so I, oh I oh I

Life just keeps dragging me down

Where memories Defeat me, so I oh I oh I

Sing la la la la la la la la

Dance like a spider

We never tire, our web will grow higher

Love like a fire

A light that shines brighter, a fever that burns
