[Verse 1]
D* D
Standing on the shore watching our ship go down,
D* D
Sinking in the sand and I can't turn round,
D* D
The future's looking black and it's a sight to see,
D* D
Just a thousand grey waves crashing over me,
D* D
Just a thousand grey waves breaking over me.
[Chorus 1]
D A G
Now it's happening to me
Bm A G
Why can't I ever see?
Bm A G
Am I gonna let you leave without a sound?
A
Watching till you're out of sight,
A
Dreaming I did something right,
D* D
Standing on my own again.
[Verse 2]
D* D
Water in my lungs and it's a pain to breathe,
D* D
Salt is in my eyes and it's a pain to see,
D* D
I can't stand the pressure and you think I can,
D* D
Just don't wanna see you going down the pan,
D* D
Just don't wanna see you going down the pan.
[Chorus 2]
D A G
Now it's happening to me
Bm A G
Why can't I ever see?
Bm A G
Am I gonna let you leave without a sound?
A
Pushing you to your wit's end
A
Guess I'm gonna lose a friend
G
Standing on my own again.
