Intro: F#  
F#Under the C#mwaves, Bdeep in the F#drift
C#mI can feel the Bsalt upon my F#skin.
F#Under the C#mwaves, Bfalling aF#way
C#mI no longer Bsee the rings of F#rain.
                C#m/
I want to feel it, if just to know it's true
            F#/
Look me over- it's just a surface wound.
                    C#m/
Don't pay to fight it; can't change the color blue.
           F#/
All I wanted was to impress you.
Under the waves, caught in a dream
Lover, can you hear me breathing?
Under the waves, now that I'm giving up
I can let the current carry me.
I want to feel it, if just to know it's true
Look me over- it's just a surface wound.
Don't pay to fight it; can't change the color blue.
All I wanted was to impress you.
F#And if I catch myself Bcrying
F#For things I cannot Bcontrol
F#I'll head on back to the Bwall
/                         F#  
Where tears are invisible.
Under the waves, I know who I am
I don't need to spin the story. 
Under the waves, down in the deep
I no longer see the rings of rain.
