[Intro]
C G Am F
[Verse 1]
C
When the rain came
    G
It washed us out to sea,
   Am
I'm holding what I love,
          F
And she's holding on to me,
C
It's no surprise,
     G
It brought me to my knees,
        Am
You're never really ready,
        F
You're ready as can be, 
     C
The sun was coming up
         G
We were sifting through the sand,
 Am
Looking for the pieces
        F
Of our broken plans
      C
It's gonna take a while,
       G
We're gonna get it back,
    Am
We gotta carry on darling
F
We were built to last.
[Chorus]
 C        G
Changing tides,
 Am                     F
Baby thats the hardest part of life,
 C       G
Hold me tight
    Am                           F
And we will move as one in the changing tides.
C G Am F
[Verse 2]
C                     G
There's no doubt the beauty that we see,
 C                          F
Following the path, so much older than we.
        C                          G
Lovers built it with their hands, walked it with their feet,
C                 Am             F
Above the raging waters and the darkness underneath. 
[Chorus]
 C        G
Changing tides,
 Am                     F
Baby thats the hardesr part of life,
 C       G
Hold me tight
    Am                           F
And we will move as one in the changing tides.
F G Am
    Am                           F
And we will move as one in the changing tides.
