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

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