Verse
Am 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
Am 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
[Chorus]
Am F Am G F
Oh Oh

Mayday, mayday

I'm lying here, inches away
E Am G F
But you can't hear me call mayday, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Am 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
Am 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
[Chorus]
