Verse:
Eb (6fr.) Bb (6fr.)
I called you up today to breach my sorrow
Carry me over the line to you
How long will it take to reach tomorrow
Seems like a whole lot of time
With just these thoughts to pull me through
Cm (Cmsus2 - Cm - Cmsus4 - Cm) Eb
I see blue carpet and cold moonlight settle in
Voices whisper down the hallway of how I should have been
I feel like I'm over the water, but I'm caught in the tide
Tell me, are you calling for me?
Does this come deep from inside?
Chorus:
(x65343) (x53363)
Carry me away, under the water, over the line
Carry me away, under the water, over the line
Verse:
The sound slowly fades and trickles away from the scene
It's only the windows of life
They hear my dreams
Walking the distance, I feel like I've been running for miles
Happy times don't last long
I finally got there and it's too late to smile
Chorus:
Carry me away, under the water, over the line
Carry me away, under the water, over the line
Eb (6fr.) Bb6 (6fr. - x88786)
Carry me away, under the water, into your mind.
Cm (Cmsus2 - Cm - Cmsus4) Ab Eb Bb Eb
