Verse 1:
@
Tonight will be
@
the night that we
@
begin to ease
@
the plugs out of the dam
@
And we will stand
@
knee deep in the flow
@
the undertow
@
will grab our heels and won't let go
@
And while we hold
@
our legs quivering
@
the water rises now
@
to our teeth when we just let go
Chorus:
and sail belly up to the clouds
the rocks scraping our backs
To breath in the air will be
G(hold) @ F
the only thing that we have
Verse 2:
@ @
and all the wasted nights
@
and empty moments in our lives
@
flushed away as we sway with the rhythm
@
of the waves
@
bobbing us up
@ @
Crests fall to troughs we feel
our gills open up
(Repeat Chorus 1 except last line)
the only thing that we have
Bridge:
and if the hook sets in
the bottom of our lungs,
we'll rip it out and
F G F(hold)
lick the blood off with our tongues
Interlude: @
Verse 3:
The despair
@
can ravage you
@ @
if you turn your head around
to look down the path
@
that's led you here
@
cause what can you change?
@
You're a vessel now
@
floating down the waterways
@
You can take your rudder
@
and aim your ship
@ @
just don't bother with
the things left in your wake
(Repeat Chorus 1 except last line)
the only thing that we have
Chorus 2:
and your love will be warm nights
with pockets of moonlight
spotlighting you as you drift
the actor in this play
Chorus 3:
And you walk across the stage
take a bow, hear the applause
and as the curtain falls
just know you did it all
Chorus 4:
the best that you knew how
and you can hear them cheering now
So let a smile out and show your teeth
C(hold)-Am(hold)-F(hold)
cause you know you lived it well
Outro: G(hold)-C(hold)
