verse 2: (same chords as verse 1)
You know that i live for you
But sometimes i get caught up in the storm and i fall
you know when i'm in that boat
and the world come seeping in
sometimes i start sinking in the sea
sometimes i'm way too deep for thee
sometimes when i'm crying out for fear
i hear you whisper in my ear
Repeat Chorus
