[Verse 1]
We left under Dmoonlight
We went with the Bmbreeze
I bet on your blue Aeyes
You set for my Ggreen
We moved with the Dwater
The tumble and Bmsway
The slow dance gets Aharder
As level shorelines Gfade
So now I'm out Ddrifting . . . away
What can I Bmsay
You're barely Alistening, asleep in
The shade of Gtidal waves
[Chorus]
Someone throw a Alifeline
DI don't want to Gdrown
I can't hold you Acloser without Djust sinking Gdown
Once I'm safe from the deep you're the Awaves at my feet that just Dkeep
pulling me Gout
By the power of the moonlight, Awhen the tide comes Daround
[Verse 2]
DYou think that I worry . . . about
What I can't see Bmbut fear
The truth's always Ablurry . . . somehow
We still hear these Gheartbeats clear
And yours might be Dsteady . . . now, yeah yours could be Bmtrue
Mine's always Aheavy with doubt
Like the current Gdragging on you
[Chorus]
GSomeone throw a lifeline
DI don't want to Gdrown
I can't hold you Acloser without Djust sinking Gdown
Once I'm safe from the deep you're the Awaves at my feet that just Dkeep
pulling me Gout
By the power of the moonlight, Awhen the tide comes Daround
[Bridge]
GOh when it's Agone
I'm Dright back where we Gstart
Waves from so Along ago come and Dcrash on my Gheart
All that we Awere and I Ddreamed Ayou to Gbe
Shines so bright on the deep and darkened Asea
[Chorus]
So Bmsomeone throw a Alifeline
DI don't want to Gdrown
I can't hold you Acloser without Djust sinking Gdown
Once I'm safe from the deep you're the Awaves at my feet 
that just Dkeep pulling me Gout
By the power of the moonlight, Awhen the tide comes Bmaround
By the Gpower of the moonlight, Awhen the tide comes arounDd

[Verse 1]

We left under moonlight

We went with the breeze

I bet on your blue eyes

You set for my green

We moved with the water

The tumble and sway

The slow dance gets harder

As level shorelines fade

So now I'm out drifting . . . away

What can I say

You're barely listening, asleep in

The shade of tidal waves

[Chorus]

Someone throw a lifeline

D G

I don't want to drown

A D G

I can't hold you closer without just sinking down

A D

Once I'm safe from the deep you're the waves at my feet that just keep

pulling me out

A D

By the power of the moonlight, when the tide comes around

[Verse 2]

You think that I worry . . . about

What I can't see but fear

The truth's always blurry . . . somehow

We still hear these heartbeats clear

D Bm

And yours might be steady . . . now, yeah yours could be true

Mine's always heavy with doubt

Like the current dragging on you

[Chorus]

Someone throw a lifeline

D G

I don't want to drown

A D G

I can't hold you closer without just sinking down

A D

Once I'm safe from the deep you're the waves at my feet that just keep

pulling me out

A D

By the power of the moonlight, when the tide comes around

[Bridge]

G A

Oh when it's gone

D G

I'm right back where we start

A D G

Waves from so long ago come and crash on my heart

A D A G

All that we were and I dreamed you to be

Shines so bright on the deep and darkened sea

[Chorus]

Bm A

So someone throw a lifeline

D G

I don't want to drown

A D G

I can't hold you closer without just sinking down

Once I'm safe from the deep you're the waves at my feet

D G

that just keep pulling me out

A Bm

By the power of the moonlight, when the tide comes around

G A D

By the power of the moonlight, when the tide comes around
