Verse
Gm D# A#
You are overbearing; I'm not in love
F
But I don't wanna tell you
Gm D# A#
We've been contemplating how to give it up
F
But I can't convince you
Gm D# A#
We've been hopelessly holding too tight
F
When we don't even need to
Gm D# A#
And as the water fills this sinking ship
F
I know we have to leave too
[Chorus]
Gm D# Gm F D#
Oh Oh
A# F
Mayday, mayday
F Gm D#
This is an emergency
A# F
Mayday, mayday
F Gm D#
You've gotta let me leave
A# F
I'm lying here, inches away
D Gm F D#
But you can't hear me call mayday, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Gm D# A#
Said I'm moving on, cause things were getting rough
F
But here I am in your bed
Gm D# A#
I strung it on too long, afraid to be alone
F
Now we're in over our heads
Gm D# A#
It's either sink or swim, we've tried so many times
F
For worse or for better
Gm D# A#
It tears my heart in two to leave it all behind
F
And say goodbye forever
[Chorus]
