Verse 1:
G            D
Take take it all away,
Em                C
Save my heart for another day.
G                  D
I'm up late on the telephone
        Em                 C
And I'm all alone with the dial tone.
G                   D
Wait wait 'till the sun is up,
Em                   C
Drown my dreams in a coffee cup,
G                D
Palms out, wanna beg for luck
        Em                   C
But I'm way too proud, never giving up.

Pre-chorus:
G   C                     D
Oh, something's gotta happen,
C                 D                    C
Something's gotta give and something's got to break.
  Em    C                     D
I know, someday it's gonna happen,
C                   D                 C
Someday it's gonna give, can't always be this way.

Chorus:
           G                C
And if the riptide comes to get me,
             Em                 D              C
And pulls me under, it won't upset me, I'll go down
           G
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
               G             C
I'll throw the white flag of surrender,
          Em        D                C
Knock me down, not forever, just for now
           D
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)

Verse 2:
G            D
Give give everything I've got,
Em                    C
Out of reach but I'll take a shot,
G                  D
Kick rocks in the parking lot,
          Em                  C
Feel like giving up, but I'll never stop.
G                  D
Run run, running like a fool,
Em                C
Never win if you never lose,
G                D
Find hope and a little truth,
      Em                      C
Gonna learn new tricks, gotta jump through hoops.

Pre-chorus:
G   C                     D
Oh, something's gotta happen,
C                 D                    C
Something's gotta give and something's got to break.
  Em    C                     D
I know, someday it's gonna happen,
C                   D                 C
Someday it's gonna give, can't always be this way.

Chorus:
           G                C
And if the riptide comes to get me,
             Em                 D              C
And pulls me under, it won't upset me, I'll go down
           G
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
               G             C
I'll throw the white flag of surrender,
          Em        D                C
Knock me down, not forever, just for now
           D
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)

Bridge:
    G                 D
Not forever, just for now
    Em                C
Not forever, just for now
    G            D            Em
Not forever, not forever, not forever
           C
Won't stay down

Chorus:
           G                C
And if the riptide comes to get me,
             Em                 D              C
And pulls me under, it won't upset me, I'll go down
           G
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
               G             C
I'll throw the white flag of surrender,
          Em        D                C
Knock me down, not forever, just for now
           D
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
