Intro: E A
 
Verse 1:
E A    E
   The faster we're falling
      A
We're stopping and stalling
      E
We're running in circles again
A        E
 Just as things were looking up
            A
You said it wasn't good enough
    E                                A
But still, we're trying one more time
 
Bridge:
E                               A
Maybe we're just trying too hard
                     E                     A
When really, it's closer than it is too far
 
Chorus:
           E           A              E       A
'Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep
        E           A       E         A
Up above in my head, instead of going under
           E           A              E       A
'Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep
        E           A       E         D
Up above in my head, instead of going under
       A
Instead of going under
 
Interlude: A E A E A E A
 
Verse 2:
E
Seems like each time I'm with you
A
I lose my mind
            E                           A
Because I'm bending over backwards to relate
     E
It's one thing to complain
                A
But when you're driving me insane
              E                                   A
Well, then, I think it's time that we took a break
 
Bridge:
E                               A
Maybe we're just trying too hard
                     E                     A
When really, it's closer than it is too far
 
Chorus:
           E           A              E       A
'Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep
        E           A       E         A
Up above in my head, instead of going under
           E           A              E       A
'Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep
        E           A       E         D
Up above in my head, instead of going under
       A
Instead of going under
       E         D
Instead of going under
       A              E
Instead of going under

Interlude:
E  Gbm       A        B         E
 I can't sit back and wonder why
   Gbm     A        B          E
It took so long for this to die
      Gbm    A         B
And I hate it when you fake it
E          Gbm          A               B
 You can't hide it, you might as well embrace it
 
Pre-chorus:
E     Gbm      A         B
 So believe me, it's not easy
E   Gbm        A
 It seems that something's telling me
 
Chorus:
    E           A              E       A
I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep
        E           A       E         A
Up above in my head, instead of going under
           E           A              E       A
'Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep
        E           A       E         D
Up above in my head, instead of going under
       A              E D
Instead of going under
       A         C          E D
Instead of going under again
       A
Instead of going under
