[ch]A[/ch]\r\nAnd I believe this is a construct[/tab]\r\n\r\nAllowing him to be free of his problems\r\n[tab]                        [ch]D[/ch]\r\nSees himself being untethered from[/tab]\r\n[tab]

[ch]Em[/ch]\r\nI believe the rock represents you[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]A[/ch]\r\nThe person in the relationship with the singer[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nAnd by saying you're like a rock[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nHe means that you're hard, cold and emotionally impenetrable[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nUnlike him, the freewheeling seagull)[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nThe tide is rising up[/tab]\r\n[tab]                        [ch]Em[/ch]\r\nThe tide is rising, it's my time to go[/tab]\r\n\r\nAnd glide across

[ch]Em[/ch]\r\n(The image of the tide rolling in or rising up[/tab]\r\n\r\nOf course, represents the feeling of doom\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]\r\nA feeling of being drowned[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                                [ch]D[/ch]\r\nAnd that's what he thinks being in the relationship[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nWith you is like)[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse]\r\n\r\nI need to leave this rock
