[Verse 1]
Am
When I was 5 years old
F C
And I was scared to sleep alone on darker nights
Am F
I thought the monsters would all try to eat me
C
If they saw my open eyes
Am F C
My mother taught me praying to my Maker would send angels to my aid
Am F C
As a child, I learned that messages to Heaven were the way to keep me safe
[Chorus]
Am F C
Throw me in the waves
Am F C
Throw me in the ocean, I've been hopeless in this boat with all my shame
Am F C
Throw me in the waves
Am
And if I'm swallowed by a monster
F C
I know God's here and I'll make it out okay
[Verse 2]
Am F C
Then everything was wonderful and marvelous with God paving the way
Am F C
I pushed myself to follow every message and commandment that He gave
Am F C
And no one seemed to notice as my mental health slowly withered away
Am F C
'Cause if you feel like you are trapped inside yourself, it has to be a test of faith
[Chorus]
Am F C
Throw me in the waves
Am F C
Throw me in the ocean, I've been hopeless in this boat with all my shame
Am F C
Throw me in the waves
Am
And if I'm swallowed by a monster
F C
I know God's here and I'll make it out okay
[Verse 3]
Am F C
I'm 22 years old, and I'm still scared to sleep alone on darker nights
Am F
'Cause when I needed God the most, He left me out for dead
C
He left my side
Am F
Maybe He's just a thing our parents made
C
Because it helps them to feel safe
Am F
But if He's real, one day I'll get to meet Him
C
Then I know just what I'll say
[Chorus]
Am F C
Throw me in the waves
Am F
I was swallowed by the monster, and you disappeared
C
You don't deserve your place
Am F C
Throw me in the waves
Am
And I'd rather drown and die
F C
Than have to spend all of my life with missplaced faith
