[Am] [C#m]
[E] [B]
[A] [C#m]
[E] [B]
Every [A] breaking wave on [C#m] the shore, tells the [E] next one there'll be [B] one more.
And every [A] gambler knows that [C#] to lose, [E] is what you're really [B] there for.
Some are [A] outspirited, some [C#m] are [E] speaking to an answer phone.
[B] Like every [A] falling, mother [C#m] breeze, winter [E] wouldn't leave her [B] alone, alone.
If you [A] go, [C#m] if you [E] go, you're without [B] your love.
Are we [A] so, [C#] are we [E] so helpless against [B] the tide?
And baby [A] every dove on the [C#] street, [C#m] knows that we're in [E] love with this [B] beat.
Are we ready [A] to be swept off our [C#] feet, and [E] stop chasing [B] every breaking [A] wave?
[B] [A] Every sailor knows that the [C#m] sea, [E] is a friend made enemy.
[Bm] And every [A] shipwrecked soul, knows what it is, [E] to live without intimacy.
I thought I [A] heard a captain's voice, [C#m] but it's [E] hard to listen while you preach.
Like every [A] broken wave on the [C#m] shore, this is [E] as far as I could [B] reach.
If you [A] go,
[C#m] if you [E] go, you're without [B] your love.
Are we [A] so,
[C#] are we [E] so helpless against the [B] tide?
And baby [A] every dove on the [C#] street, [C#m] knows that [E] we're in love with this [B] beat.
Are we ready [A] to be swept off our [C#] feet, and [E] stop chasing
[B] every breaking [A] wave?
[C#m] [G#]
[E] [A] The sea knows where [D] all the rocks and drowning is no sin.
[A] You know where my heart [G#m] is, the same place that [D] yours has been.
[A] We know that we fear to [D] win, so we [E] end before we begin, before we begin.
[A]
[C#m] [E]
[B] If you [A] go,
[C#m] if you [E] go, you're without [B] your love.
Are we [A] so,
[C#] are we [E] so helpless against the [B] tide?
And baby [A] every dove on the [C#] street, [C#m] knows that [E] we're in love with this [B] beat.
Are we ready [A] to be swept off our [C#m] feet, and [E] stop chasing
[B] every breaking [A] wave?
