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

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