Verse
Bm G D
You are overbearing; I'm not in love
A
But I don't wanna tell you
Bm G D
We've been contemplating how to give it up
A
But I can't convince you
Bm G D
We've been hopelessly holding too tight
A
When we don't even need to
Bm G D
And as the water fills this sinking ship
A
I know we have to leave too
[Chorus]
Bm G Bm A G
Oh Oh
D A
Mayday, mayday

D A
Mayday, mayday
A Bm G
You've gotta let me leave
D A
I'm lying here, inches away
F# Bm A G
But you can't hear me call mayday, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Bm G D
Said I'm moving on, cause things were getting rough
A
But here I am in your bed
Bm G D
I strung it on too long, afraid to be alone
A
Now we're in over our heads
Bm G D
It's either sink or swim, we've tried so many times
A
For worse or for better
Bm G D
It tears my heart in two to leave it all behind
A
And say goodbye forever
[Chorus]
