Follow your heart, he said

Your heart will take you there

So I walked into your eyes without a raincoat on
Bm F#m G D G D A
And in the salty sea, I find you're all but gone

Take my hand, you're treading water

And I feel sand slipping away from underneath my toes

Nobody knows

Where is it she goes

Bm F#m G D
Looked in the bathroom stall
G D A
Your back against the wall
Bm F#m G D
Cold tiles beneath your knees
G D A
Your body broke your fall
Bm F#m G D G D A
Spitting into your own reflection gazing back
Bm F#m G D G D A
Inside your porcelain fists, your palms begin to crack
G A F#m Bm
So take my hand, you're treading water
G A F#m G G A
And I feel sand slipping away from underneath my toes
F#m G
Nobody knows
F#m G
Where is it she goes
F#m G F#m G
When those sad eyes start to close
F#m G
Nobody knows
F#m G
Where is it she goes
Em G Bm
When those sad eyes close
