C
Turn the lights out, in the light house,
I saw you coming,
Am
Felt the ship wreck
Saw the wreckage, I heard you yelling,
F
Just a mess when I saw your reflection in the sand,
C
Wondering where you were washed up,
Or I ran to the water, Mmmmm,
F
I can put my hands down in it,
C
But I won't bring nothing up,
Am G (strum once)
Sitting on the shore all day, waiting on the tide to come
C Am
But you can't hold on to water
G
It fills you up but never stays
F
It's only good to wash away today
C Am
and your loving me like water
G
Your slippin' through my fingers such
F
A natural disaster love
C Am
Bringing on the flood, the flood
G F
Love me like a flood, a flood
Bring it on
C
Stay tonight out, by the beach house, it's all so quiet
Am
Lit a candle candle, by the window, so you might find it
F
Hope you know you'll always have a place to call your home
C
Still, I can't help but think, I could have saved you from drowning,
Ohhh, oh,
F
I can put my hands down in it, yeah,
C
But I won't bring nothing up,
Am
Sitting on the shore all day
G
Just waiting on the tide to come,
