The Water

Intro: Innocent, they swim I tell them 'no' They just dive right in But do they know? It's a long way down When you're alone And there's no air or sound (pause) Down below the surface There's something in the water I do not feel safe It always feels like torture To be this close I wish that I was stronger I'd separate the waves Not just let the water Take me away There was a time I'd dip my feet And it would roll off my skin Now every time I get close to the edge I'm scared of falling in 'Cause I don't want to be stranded again On my own When the tide comes in (pause) And pulls me below the surface There's something in the water I do not feel safe It always feels like torture To be this close I wish that I was stronger I'd separate the waves Not just let the water Take me away Outro and strings: e|----------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------8------10~~10~~10--8--------------------------8--------| D|-11~~~-10--11------------------------11--10-11-10-8~~10--11-----------| A|------------------11-------------------------------------------11-11--| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------| e|---------8-9-8------------------11------13~~13~~13-11-----------------| B|----9-10-------11~~11~~11/13-14------------------------14--13-14-13-11| G|-8----------------------------------13--------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------| e|--------11----13~~13//17~~-----| B|~~13-14------------------------| G|-----------13------------------| D|-------------------------------| A|-------------------------------| E|-------------------------------| Outro:
