Verse 1:

@ F  Am
   Tonight will be

@ F    Am
   the night that we 

@ F  Am
   begin to ease 

@ G          F
   the plugs out of the dam 

@ F    Am
   And we will stand 

@ F     Am
   knee deep in the flow 

@ F    Am
   the undertow 

@    G                  F
will grab our heels and won't let go

@ F    Am
   And while we hold 

@ F         Am
   our legs quivering 

@ F          Am
   the water rises now 

@      G             F
to our teeth when we just let go

Chorus:

    C             G/B    Am
and sail belly up to the clouds 

                       F
the rocks scraping our backs 

                          G
To breath in the air will be 

    G(hold)    @       F
the only thing that we have

Verse 2:

Am            @      F     @
  and all the wasted nights 

          @       F  Am
and empty moments in our lives 

         @   G      F
flushed away as we sway with the rhythm 

@ F Am
    of the waves 

@ F Am
    bobbing us up 

@ F        Am                 @
    Crests fall to troughs we feel

    G     F
our gills open up

(Repeat Chorus 1 except last line)

    G                  Am
the only thing that we have

Bridge:

           Em        F
and if the hook sets in

           G      Am
the bottom of our lungs, 

             Em
we'll rip it out and 

F                  G        F(hold)
lick the blood off with our tongues

Interlude: F--Am @ F Am Verse 3: The despair

@ F    Am
   can ravage you

@ F Am               @     G
    if you turn your head around

        F
to look down the path 

@ F       Am
   that's led you here 

@ F       Am
    cause what can you change? 

@ F          Am
    You're a vessel now 

@        G        F
floating down the waterways 

@ F         Am
    You can take your rudder 

@ F     Am
    and aim your ship 

@ F      Am           @
    just don't bother with 

    G           F
the things left in your wake

(Repeat Chorus 1 except last line)

    G                  C
the only thing that we have

Chorus 2:

                   G/B     Am
and your love will be warm nights 

                    F
with pockets of moonlight 

                        G
spotlighting you as you drift

                  C
the actor in this play

Chorus 3:

              G/B        Am
And you walk across the stage

                       F
take a bow, hear the applause

                   G
and as the curtain falls

                     C
just know you did it all

Chorus 4:

              G/B      Am
the best that you knew how

                               F
and you can hear them cheering now

                                 G
So let a smile out and show your teeth 

                            C(hold)-Am(hold)-F(hold)
cause you know you lived it well
