C        F             C
 You are overbearing; I'm not in love
      G
 But I don't wanna tell you
Am           F             C
 We've been contemplating how to give it up
      G
 But I can't convince you
C            F              C
 We've been hopelessly holding too tight
       G
 When we don't even need to
Am           F                C
 And as the water fills this sinking ship
      G
 I know we have to leave too
Am Am F F
 Oh.......
Am G  F F
 Oh.......
F    C       G           G   Am    F
 Mayday, mayday, this is an emergency
     C       G          G      Am     F
 Mayday, mayday, you've gotta let me leave
             C              G
 I'm laying here, inches away
                E             Am    G     F
 But you can't hear me call mayday, yeah, yeah
C          F                C
 Said I'm moving on, cause things were getting rough
      G
 But here I am in your bed
Am            F             C
 I strung it on too long, afraid to be alone
      G
 Now we're in over our heads
C             F                   C
 It's either sink or swim, we've tried so many times
      G
 For worse or for better
Am            F               C
 It tears my heart in two to leave it all behind
       G
 And say goodbye forever
 Am Am F F
 Oh.......

 Oh.......
