C
We left under moonlight
Am
We went with the breeze

I bet on your blue eyes

You set for my green

We moved with the water

The tumble and sway

The slow dance gets harder
F
As the level shoreline fade

So now I'm out drifting away

What can I say

You're barely listening, a sleep in

The shade of tidal waves
F G
Someone throw a lifeline

I can't hold you closer

Once I'm safe from the deep

That just keep pulling me out
F
By the power of the moonlight
G C
When the tide comes around
C
You think that I worry about
Am
What I can't see but fear
G
The truth's always blurry somehow
F
We still hear these heartbeats clear
C
And yours might be steady now
Am
Yeah yours could be true

Mine's always heavy with doubt

Like the current dragging on you

Someone throw a lifeline

All that we were and I dreamed you to be
