CTurn the lights out, in the light house, 
I saw you coming, 
AmFelt the ship wreck 
Saw the wreckage, I heard you yelling,
FJust a mess when I saw your reflection in the sand,
CWondering where you were washed up, 
Or I ran to the water, Mmmmm,
FI can put my hands down in it,
CBut I won't bring nothing up,
                             Am   G(strum once)
Sitting on the shore all day, waiting on the tide to come 
But you cCan't hold on to watAmer
It fills you up but never sGtays
It's only good to wash Faway today 
and your Cloving me like waAmter
Your slippin' through my fingers Gsuch
A natural disaster Flove
Bringing on the Cflood, the floAmod
Love me like a Gflood, a flood F  
Bring it on 
CStay tonight out, by the beach house, it's all so quiet
AmLit a candle candle, by the window, so you might find it
FHope you know you'll always have a place to call your home 
CStill, I can't help but think, I could have saved you from drowning, 
Ohhh, oh,

FI knew the waves were icy, wAmhen I felt them all retreating,
FWent to take a dive in the deep end,
GWoah, what was I thinking?

Intro:

Turn the lights out, in the light house,

I saw you coming,

Felt the ship wreck

Saw the wreckage, I heard you yelling,

Just a mess when I saw your reflection in the sand,

Wondering where you were washed up,

Or I ran to the water, Mmmmm,

I can put my hands down in it,

But I won't bring nothing up,

Am G

(strum once)

Sitting on the shore all day, waiting on the tide to come

C Am

But you can't hold on to water

It fills you up but never stays

It's only good to wash away today

C Am

and your loving me like water

Your slippin' through my fingers such

A natural disaster love

C Am

Bringing on the flood, the flood

G F

Love me like a flood, a flood

Bring it on

Stay tonight out, by the beach house, it's all so quiet

Lit a candle candle, by the window, so you might find it

Hope you know you'll always have a place to call your home

Still, I can't help but think, I could have saved you from drowning,

Ohhh, oh,

I can put my hands down in it, yeah,

But I won't bring nothing up,

Sitting on the shore all day

Just waiting on the tide to come,

C Am

But you can't hold on to water

It fills you up but never stays

It's only good to wash away today

C Am

and your loving me like water

Your slippin' through my fingers such

A natural disaster love

C Am

Bringing on the flood, the flood

G F

Love me like a flood, a flood

Bring it on

F Am

I knew the waves were icy, when I felt them all retreating,

Went to take a dive in the deep end,

Woah, what was I thinking?

C Am

But you can't hold on to water

It fills you up but never stays

It's only good to wash away today

C Am

and your loving me like water

Your slippin' through my fingers such

A natural disaster love

C Am

Bringing on the flood, the flood

G F

Love me like a flood, a flood

Bring it on

C Am G F

Rising and the falling of my tears that fill the ocean,
