by Sara Bareilles [Verse]
E              E/G#   A
   Pardon me my mistake

               E         G#      A
   Thought it might turn for a break

                 C#m     G#m   A
   But since the rain loves my face

               E  -   A
   I'll let it be

                  E        E/G#    A
   Long since I gave up on long walks

           E       G#    A
   To make up for long talks

                    C#m/E    B/E    A/E           E     A
   Cause lately the silence won't stop talking at me
[Chorus]
                 B             A
(And/Cause)  I'm getting weary waiting for

     E                     B  Bsus2
the harbor lights to change

         F#m             A
I've forgotten what I do it for

        E                   B
but I tread water just the same

       E - F#/E - C#m/E - B/E             E - F#/E - C#m/E - B/E
I tread water ....            I tread water
[Verse]
               E       E/G#       A
Thought I've earned my fair share

           E     G#  A
heard the devil may care

       C#m          B            A
but I called him up he's not there

                E
what does that mean?
[Chorus]
                 B             A
(And/Cause)  I'm getting weary waiting for

     E                     B  Bsus2
the harbor lights to change

         F#m             A
I've forgotten what I do it for

        E                   B
but I tread water just the same

       E - F#/E - C#m/E - B/E             E - F#/E - C#m/E - B/E
I tread water ....            I tread water
Bridge:
   C#m         F#          A   G#
Thought that life would lead

C#m         F#      A   G#
far from beauty's beast

C#m        F#        A                 F#
well    I know at least   you can't count me out

           A                     B
cause I'm used to the water now
[Interlude] E E A E G# A C#m B A E E A [Chorus]
                 B             A
(And/Cause)  I'm getting weary waiting for

     E                     B  Bsus2
the harbor lights to change

         F#m             A
I've forgotten what I do it for

        E                   B
but I tread water just the same

          F#m             A              E       B                Bsus2
and I'll never let this pair of hands forget to pull their weights

                     F#m               A                E                B B2
it's burdened maybe more than I would like to bear but less than I can take

                  E - F#/E - C#m/E - B/E
and I'll tread water
tread water tread water tread water fade...
