[Intro]

E Emaj7 E7 E9 A F#m E B7

[Verse]

E Emaj7

Lately have the hounds been at your door again

E7 E9

But all they seem to do is ask for more again

A F#m

But wasn't this the life that you were dreaming of

E B7

Is it getting better

E Emaj7

I still don't feel like I am getting older

E7 E9

But recently these doors let in the cold air

A F#m

I was thinking we could leave it all behind

E B7

Looking to the new year

[Chorus]

F#m B7

Now I'm really testing the water to see

G#m C#m

If it'll take me back to southsea

F#m B7

and even if the river doesn't ever wash you clean

G#m C#m

It'll feel better than it seems

F#m B7

But until then I'll be floating with the tide

[Verse]

E Emaj7

The treading water's got the best of him

E7 E9

Can't keep his head above the waves forgotten how to swim

A F#m

But I was hoping that you'd maybe let me in

E B7

{Or hope for fairer weather}

[Chorus]

F#m B7

Now I'm really testing the water to see

G#m C#m

If it'll take me back to southsea

F#m B7

and even if the river doesn't ever wash you clean

G#m C#m

It'll feel better than it seems

F#m B7

But until then I'll be floating with the tide

[Bridge]

F#m

Did you think you'd be alone

G#7 C#m

{As you fell in the fire}

F#m B7

Did you think the river wouldn't ever wash you clean

G#7 C#m

{Better safer than higher}

A B7

So don't ~~~

Emaj7 F#7

Don't be afraid of the white lies

'Cause I'm too young to make it

I hope the tide will take me ~
