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

Oh Oh

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