[Verse 1]
CTore a line in the sunF  
Like there's nGothing to regret and nothing to prFove
CSet my sights high enoFugh
So I sGee the turning tides are parting for Fyou
[Chorus]
CTaking back an empty thrFeat
AmMore than you could ever Gknow
CTake it back with no regFrets
I was better off wAmhen I was on your sideG  
And I was holding on
CTo try and not forFget
AmHoping that you'd never kGnow
CTake it back with no regFrets
I was better off wAmhen I was on your sideG  
And I was holding onC  F  Am  G

Like there's nGothing to forget and nothing to lFose
CHold my ground long enFough
Till I sGee the turning tides are coming from yFou

AmMore than you could ever Gknow

FIf we wanna stay here, can we see the waves?
They're spilling over us, filling our insides
AmIn the rising water, in the rising tide
GThey're spilling over me, filling my insides

They're spilling over us, filling our insides
AmIn the rising water, in the rising tide
GWe wait for the fall (I gotta tell you)

FMaybe the water's high (I've gotta tell you)
But I can see the difference (I've gotta tell you)
AmMaybe the water's high (I've gotta tell you)
GBut I can see the difference (I've gotta tell you)
FMaybe the water's high (I've gotta tell you)
But I can see the difference (I've gotta tell you)
AmMaybe the water's high (I've gotta tell you)
GBut I know that this is different
