Intro: Bb

Verse:
Bb                              F 
Take a breath; take a long look around
           Gm
Before you step
           Eb
'Cause the tide is coming.
               Bb
Swallowing the ground
    F                 F               Gm
And there's no way to tell if we will drown tonight,
            Eb6   Ebmaj7
Or we'll be found tonight.


        Bb            F 
Come in close; if the current gets us,
                Gm
Then it gets us both.
             Eb
And we can't wait here anymore

Pre-chorus:
          Gm7                 Ebmaj7
So if the waves come, let 'em take us
        Bb                         Fsus4        F
As they cover you and me, and they pull us underneath

Chorus:
            Gm7           Eb         Bb           F
I hope that fate will forgive us for tempting the sea.
            Gm7           Ebmaj7
I hope that they won't forget us
        Bb                  F 
But we can't go back to the way it used to be.

Interlude: Gm  Eb

Verse:
        Bb         F 
Take it in; take a good look at
                   Gm
What it might have been.
         Eb                            Bb
As we're swept into the water from the shore,
                F                               Gm
Because there's no way they can tell us that we can't have more
           Eb
Because we can have more.

Pre-chorus:
       Gm7                 Ebmaj7
As the waves come, let 'em take us
        Bb                         Fsus4        F
As they cover you and me, and they pull us underneath

Chorus:
        Gm7           Eb             Bb           F
I hope that fate will forgive us for tempting the sea.
            Gm7           Ebmaj7
I hope that they won't forget us
         Bb                 F 
No, we can't go back to the way it used to be.

Bridge:
Eb          Bb       F          Eb
So certain, where it would take us
             Bb      F     Gm7
So sure that we were never lost;
          F       Bb       Eb                 Eb
To notice whether we'll be drowned tonight or found tonight...

Pre-chorus:
          Gm7                 Ebmaj7
So as the waves come, let 'em take us
        Bb                         Fsus4        F
As they cover you and me, and they pull us underneath
             Gm7               Ebmaj7
It takes the shape of who will save us.
        Bb
When it leaves it's hard to know,
      Fsus4            F
But I will not let you go.

Chorus:
            Gm7           Eb         Bb           F
I hope that fate will forgive us for tempting the sea.
            Gm7           Ebmaj7
I hope that they won't forget us
      Bb                   F 
No we can't go back to the way it used to be.

Gm  Eb  Bb  F 
            Gm7           Ebmaj7
I hope that they won't forget us
      Bb                   F              Eb
No we can't go back to the way it used to be.
