[Am] [C#m]
[E] [B]
[A] [C#m]
[E] [B]
Every [A] breaking wave on [C#m] the shore
There's a [E] next one, there'll be one [B] more
And every [A] gambler knows that [C#] to lose
[E] Is what you're really [B] there for
Some are [A] outspirited, some are sin
[C#m] Now I [E] speak into an answer [B] phone
Like every [A] fall I leave on the [C#m] breeze
Winter [E] wouldn't leave it [B] alone
Alone
If you [A] go
[C#m] If you [E] go, you're in a [B] good way
Are we [A] so
[C#] Are we [E] so helpless against the [B] tide
Baby, [A] every dog on the [C#] street
[C#m] Knows that we're in [E] love with it, you [B] see
Are we ready [A] to be swept off our [C#m] feet
And stop [E] chasing [B] every breaking [A] wave
[C#m]
[G#] [A]
[C#m] There's [E] a friend made in heaven
[Bm] And every [A] shipwrecked soul knows what it is
[E] To live without it, to see
I thought I [A] heard a can of tins blowing [C#m] away
But it's hard to [E] 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 in a good [B] way
Are we [A] so
Are
[C#] we [E] so helpless against [B] the tide
Baby, [A] every dog on the [C#] street
[C#m] Knows that we're in [E] love with it, you [B] see
Are we ready [A] to be swept off our [C#] feet
And [E] stop chasing
[B] every breaking [A] wave
[B] [E] [G#m]
[Em] [A] The sea knows where [D] all the rocks are
Drowning is no sin
[A] You know where my heart [G#m] is
The same place that [B] yours has [F#m] been
We know that we [D] fear to win
And so we end before we [E] begin
Before we begin
[A]
[C#m] If [E]
[B] you [A] go
[C#m] If you [E] go, you're welcome
[B] Are we [A] so
If you go,
[C#] you're welcome
Are we [E] so helpless against [B] the tide
Baby, [A] every dog on the street
[C#] Knows that [E] we're in love with it, you [B] see
Are we ready [A] to be swept off our [C#m] feet
And [E] stop chasing
[B] every breaking [A] wave
[G#m] [E] [B]
[A]
[G#m] [E] [B]
[A] [C#m]
[G#m] [E] What's your name?
[B] [A]
[G#m] [E]
[G#m] [B] [A] [N]
