E               G#   A
   Pardon me my mistake
               E         G#      A
   Thought it might turn for a break
                   E        G#   A
   But since the rain loves my face
               E  -   A
   i'll let it be
                  E         G#    A
   Long since i gave up on long walks
           E       G#    A
   To make up for long talks
                     E               A           E
   Cause lately the silence wont stop talking to me
                               F#             A
Chorus:        (And/Cause)  Im getting weary waiting for
                     B                      F#m
                the harbor lights to change
                        B             A
                ive forgotten what i do it for
                        E                   B
                but i tread water just the same
                        A2 - B7 - A - B7             A
                i tread water ....        i tread water
 E                         G#
    Thought ive earned my fair share
               E     G#  A
    heard the devil may care
           E                       A
    but i called him up he's not there
                    E
    what does that mean?
           (repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
       E         F#m          A   E
      A
    Thought that life would lead far from beauty's beast
  E            A        E                A
    well    i know at least   you cant count me out
              E
    cause im used to the water now
    (repeat 1st 4 lines of Chorus)
Coda:
         F#              A                B                 F#m
and i'll never let this pair of hands forget to pull their weights
                     B                F#m               A
         B7
it's burdened maybe more than i would like to bear but less than i can take
                 A - B7 - A - B7
and ill tread water
