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

Mayday, mayday
