A5 E5 D5
she doesn't want to be
dead in the water, yet she swims out to sea
A E D
A E
brave hearted girl
D
goes out to take on the world
but comes home crying every time
she doesn't sleep at night
she's afraid to close her eyes but
I see her walking in the street sometimes
[Bridge]
E D
she knows about suffering
and all about sorrow
she's starving for the beautiful things
that people seem to believe in
A E D
she doesn't want to be
dead in the water, yet she swims out to sea
she doesn't want to be
dead in the water
dead in the water
dead in the water
dead in the water

how long?
A D
waited way too long
A E
how long?
Bm A
waited way too long
how long? (don't let them fool you)
waited way too long
how long? (don't let them fool you)
waited way too long
how long? (don't let them fool you)
waited way too long
how long? (don't let them fool you)
waited way too long
A (muted)
brave hearted girl
goes out to take on the world
A E D
but comes home crying every time
we're walking in the rain
she turns to me to say
I hope tomorrow doesn't feel this way
[Bridge]
she's heard about happiness
she's heard about Jesus
she's starving for the beautiful things
that people seem to believe in
(Chorus)
