Capo 2nd fret
C G
you’re watching everything you ever held on to
slip away from you
C G
and all you’re running from well it’s catching up to you
F
got you looking for a lifeline
AM
swimming in the high tide
F
waiting for the daylight
G
to bring you home

C
the world is too big to never ask why
AM F G
the answers don’t fall straight out of the sky
C
i’m fighting to live and feel alive
AM F G
but i can’t feel a thing without you by my side
F
send me out a lifeline
C G
you’re watching everyone you ever belonged to
walk away from you
C G
maybe all along you’ve been running from the truth
F
got you looking for a lifeline
AM
you’re swimming in the high tide
F
waiting for the daylight
G
to bring you home
there’s nothing i would change, i’d give it all away
for you again and again and over again
everything i own is in your control
i’m looking for a lifeline
swimming in the high tide
waiting for the daylight
to bring me home
