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