Above Water

	  		
verse 1 
E 
bleeding til it hurts 
                   Am 
the need to start over again 
      E 
the stillness with the burn 
          F#m/b5 A/B   E 
remembering how to begin 

E 
when will it be my turn 
              Am 
when time and I become friends? 
     E 
and how will all this work 
              F#m/b5 A/B      E 
when you know where I have been? 

Pre-Chorus 1 
              A                   B 
You see, the fire that was isn?t here 
            E/G#               C#add6 
my heart is hanging onto every fear 
             A                 B 
Singing the words as i try to heal 
     E/G#             C#add6 
this dark and deepest part of me 
F#m    E       B 
trying to hold on 

Chorus 
E 
Keep off the ledge, far from the edge now 
F#m 
wave the white flag, it?s time to back down 
E                                       F#m 
wake up and set to keep your head above water 

E 
dive in the sea where you can be and 
F#m 
swim in the deep where you and I breathe  
E                                        F#m 
wake up and set to keep your head above water 

Instrumental 
E     F#m     E     F#m 

verse 2 
E 
for all and what its worth 
             Am 
we rose and fell but in the end 
E 
we learn from how we were 
            A   B    E 
everyone longs to pretend 

E 
drowning in the dark 
               Am 
even when the sun touches our face 
E 
reaching for the stars 
            A   B       E 
as we look back in the race 

Pre-Chorus 2 
You see, the fire inside disappeared 
my heart is always out in the clear 
telling myself there?s nothing to fear 
when the dark and deepest part of me 
is trying to let go 

Chorus 

Bridge 
Am               E     F#m  E/G# 
Oh the crashing waves 
Am             F#m           B 
Bury me til I choose to be brave 

Chorus 2x 

Ending 
E 
bleeding til it hurts 
             Am 
the need to start over again
