[Verse 1]
      DI swallowed Cthoughts of hopelessBbness
In the Gend they won't diDgest
I wear Ctrophies 'round my Bbneck, of aGll my failed conqDuests
I set my Csails into the Bbwind
Time to Gfind the rocks Dagain
And with these Cwater's rushing Bbin, I descGend
[Chorus 1]
Did you Deven Clook Bbfor me,G  
When I lDost mCy way Bbat sea?G  
LeDt me iCn        BbDon't let Gme fall into the
DEnd               C   BbI'm down herGe drowning
Let me Din       C       BbDon't let me Gfall into the

[Verse 2]
D    C    Bb    G
   DI'm falling Cunder, can't esBbcape
Chained to Gme like 10 ton Dweights
I'll fight to Chold you, break my gBbrip
Like a Grat on a sinking Dship
Cast a Cline before the Bbwaves rise and cGarry me away
  DAnd with these Cwater's rushing iBbn, I desGcend
[Chorus 2]

Time to find the rocks again

C Bb G

And with these water's rushing in, I descend

[Chorus 1]

D C Bb G

Did you even look for me,

D C Bb G

When I lost my way at sea?

D C Bb G

Let me in Don't let me fall into the

I'm falling under, can't escape

G D

Chained to me like 10 ton weights

Like a rat on a sinking ship

C Bb G

Cast a line before the waves rise and carry me away

D C Bb G

And with these water's rushing in, I descend

[Chorus 2]

And you only pick me up to drag me down

You suffocate the air when you're around

G B C G

Screaming, "SOS", into the air

G Bb C

But you only stare, you just stare

[Chorus 3]

D C Bb G

Did you even look for me,

D C Bb G

When I lost my way at sea?

D C Bb G

Let me in Don't let me fall into the
