[Verse 1]

Dm Csus Bb

I dig my heels into the dirt

'Cause this one's gonna hurt

Dm Csus Bb

Won't let the waves wash me away

Is what I always pray

In my heart I know you couldn't see

Bb C Dm

In the dark or find your way through me

Dm Csus Bb

Now I'm alone, my hands are numb

How do I carry on?

[Chorus]

At the turn of the tide

Dm C

I feel this part of me die

Dm Bb C

Am I washed on your shore and barely alive?

[Verse 2]

Dm Csus Bb

Now I'm held hostage in my head

With every word you said

Dm Csus Bb

God, all those lessons in my past

I spit them out so fast

Dm Bb C Dm

I see myself with you, I act so small

Dm Bb C Dm

I see myself with you, I always crawl

Dm Csus Bb

So someone leave a raft for me

The water's getting deep

[Chorus]

At the turn of the tide

I feel this part of me die

Am I washed on your shore and barely alive?

Dm Csus Bb

When I was melting in your hand

You didn't understand

Dm Csus Bb

You slip through me like grains of sand

You still don't understand

Overboard, I'm thrown out to see

Dm Bb C Dm

What you are and what I mean to me

Csus Bb C

But I will always have my dream where you can swim to me

[Chorus]

At the turn of the tide

Dm C

I feel this part of me die

And it was no waste of time
