[Verse 1]
GYou were the flame, but your burned out Feasily
GYou see the light through the dark
But you can't quite Fsee through me
GAnd every word that you waste, every Gbreath that you faked
Hope they're Fkeeping you up at night
And I'm Fdying to let you go
Let yF#mou go
[Chorus]
F#You're the shore, I'm the tidal wave
G#I'm the reason you're coming up for air
F#Holding on to a memory
G#You can blame it on wishful sinkingF#  G#  
G#You can blame it on wishful sinking
F#mI'd try to save you
    N.C.
But what were you thinking?
[Verse 2]
So just Gbreathe slow, Fcaught in the undertow
And I'm Gfighting the current
Holding my ground if Fyou can't let go
The Gpressure will hold you Fdown
GRemember when you said until the end
GI swear I'll never feel the Fsame aF#mgain
[Chorus]
F#You're the shore, I'm the tidal wave
