               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 [Pre-Chorus]
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 [Chorus]
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) [Verse]
                 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 [Pre-Chorus]
   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 [Chorus]
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 Fmaj7 (no C note)
