Fmaj7 Gmaj7 



               Fmaj7 
Grew up by the ocean 
                                                   Gmaj7 
Seekin' out the blue in the shades of grey, like a poem 
                                    Fmaj7 
Or soliloquies, it was only me in a broken home 
                                                    Gmaj7 
So I'd spend my nights sitting watching tides ever flowing 

Drinking and smoking 



F      
A third divorce it rained, it poured 
                       Am          G 
And I got high to feel something 
    F 
The sea is wild and volatile 
                        Am 
I used to live in fear of it 

G 



F 
But now I run like water 
             Am                 G 
Let currents pull me far from shore 
                    F 
I anchor down and I swim 
                                   Am 
In the eyes of my daughter, I'm beautiful 
             G 
I rise and fall 
                       F 
Like water, like a waterfall 

I rise and fall 
                         Am 
Like water, like a waterfall 
                 G 
I rise and fall 

Like water, like water

Fmaj7 (no C note) 



                 Fmaj7 
Now I live by the river 
                                           Gmaj7 
The water's stained but it couldn't be any clearer 

I don't love this town, but I'm here 
                   Fmaj7 
So I don't have to miss her 
                                                              Gmaj7 
Could be guilt 'cause I don't know if I'll be her give her a sister 

But I'll love her till the waves pull me under 



   F 
My ego, I have laid to rest 
                     Am 
I resurrect to be something 

G 

    F 
The sea is wild and volatile 
                         Am 
I used to live in fear of it 

G 



F 
But now I run like water 
             Am                 G 
Let currents pull me far from shore 
                    F 
I anchor down and I swim 
                                   Am 
In the eyes of my daughter, I'm beautiful 
            G 
I rise and fall 
                       F 
Like water, like a waterfall 

I rise and fall 
                         Am 
Like water, like a waterfall 
                   G      
I rise and fall 
                       F      
Like water, like a waterfall 

I rise and fall 
                         Am 
Like water, like a waterfall 
                   G 
I rise and fall 

Like water, like water
