[Am] [C#m]
[E] [B]
[A] [C#m]
[E] [B]
Every [A] breaking wave [C#m] on the shore
[E] Says the next one there'll be one [B] more
And every [A] gambler knows that [C#] to lose
[E] Is what you're really there [B] for
[G] Someone [A] else really sings
[C#m] Now I [E] speak into an answer phone
Like [B] every [A] father leaves all the [C#m] priests
Winter wouldn't [E] leave it [B] alone, alone
If you [A] go, [C#m] if you [E] go
You'll win up [B] your mind
Are we [A] so, [C#] are we [E] so helpless against [B] the tide
When baby [A] every dog on the [C#] street
[C#m] Knows that we're in [E] love with the [B] sea
Are we ready [A] to be swept down by the [C#] sea
And [C#m] stop [E] chasing [B] every breaking [A] wave
[G#m] Every [A] sailor knows that the [C#m] sea
[F#]
[E] Is a friend made enemy
[B] And every [A] shipwrecked soul knows what it is
[E] To live without intimacy
I thought I [A] heard the captain's [C#m] voice
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, if [C#m] you [E] go
You'll win up [B] your mind
Are we [A] so,
[C#] are we [E] so helpless against [B] the tide
When baby [A] every dog on the [C#] street
[C#m] Knows that [E] we're in love with the [B] sea
Are we ready [A] to be swept down by the [C#] sea
And [E] stop chasing
[B] every breaking [A] wave
[C#m]
[G#m] [F#m] The sea knows where all the [D] rocks are
So drowning [C#m] is no sin
[A] You know where our heart is
The same [G#m] place that yours has [F#m] been
We know that we [D] fear to win
So we end before we [E] begin, before we begin
[A] If
[C#m] [E]
[B] you [A] go,
[C#] if [C#m] you [E] go
You'll win up [B] your mind
Are we [A] so,
[C#] are we [E] so helpless against [B] the tide
When baby [A] every dog on the [C#] street
[C#m] Knows that [E] we're in love with the [B] sea
Are we ready [A] to be swept down by the [C#m] sea
And [E] stop chasing
