AC#m
Every breaking wave on the shore
EB
tells the next one there’ll be one more.
AC#m
And every gambler knows that to lose
EB
is what you’re really there for.
AC#m
Summer I was fearlessness,
EB
now I speak into an answer phone.
AC#m
Like every falling leaf on the breeze,
EBB
winter wouldn’t leave it alone, alone.
AC#m
If you go?
EB
If you go your way and I go mine.
AC#m
Are we so?
EB
Are we so helpless against the tide?
AC#m
Baby every dog on the street
EB
knows that we’re in love with defeat.
AC#m
Are we ready to be swept off our feet?
EBAC#mEB
And stop chasing every breaking wave..
AC#m
Every sailor knows that the sea
EB
is a friend made enemy.
AC#m
And every shipwrecked soul knows what it is
EB
to live without intimacy.
AC#m
I thought I heard the captain’s voice,
EB
it’s hard to listen while you preach.
AC#m
Like every broken wave on the shore,
EBB
this is as far as I could reach..
AC#m
If you go?
EB
If you go your way and I go mine.
AC#m
Are we so?
EB
Are we so helpless against the tide?
AC#m
Baby every dog on the street
EB
knows that we’re in love with defeat.

And stop chasing every breaking wave..
F#mA
The sea knows where are the rocks, and drowning is no sin.
EB
You know where my heart is, the same place that yours has been.
F#mAE
We know that we fear to win, and so we end before we begin,
B
before we begin..
