Used to Be

Bb

[Verse]
Bb                              
Take a breath; take a long look 
F/A
around
           Gm
Before you step
           Eb
'Cause the tide is coming.
               Bb
Swallowing the ground
    F/A               F        
And there's no way to tell if we 
       Gm
will drown tonight,
            Eb6   Ebmaj7
Or we'll be found tonight.

        Bb            F/A
Come in close; if the current gets 
us,
                Gm
Then it gets us both.
             Eb
And we can't wait here anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
          Gm7                 
So if the waves come, let 'em take 
Ebmaj7
us
        Bb                         
As they cover you and me, and they 
Fsus4        F
pull us underneath

[Chorus]
            Gm7           Eb      
I hope that fate will forgive us 
   Bb           F
for tempting the sea.
            Gm7           Ebmaj7
I hope that they won't forget us

        Bb                  F/A
But we can't go back to the way it 
used to be.

Gm  Eb

[Verse]
        Bb         F/A
Take it in; take a good look at
                   Gm
What it might have been.
         Eb                        
As we're swept into the water from 
    Bb
the shore,
                F/A                
Because there's no way they can 
             Gm
tell us that we can't have more
           Eb
Because we can have more.

[Pre-Chorus]
       Gm7                 Ebmaj7
As the waves come, let 'em take us
        Bb                         
As they cover you and me, and they 
Fsus4        F
pull us underneath

[Chorus]
        Gm7           Eb          
I hope that fate will forgive us 
   Bb           F
for tempting the sea.
            Gm7           Ebmaj7
I hope that they won't forget us
         Bb                 F/A
No, we can't go back to the way it 
used to be.

[Bridge]
Eb          Bb       F/A        Eb
So certain, where it would take us
             Bb      F/A   Gm7
So sure that we were never lost;
          F/A     Bb       Eb    
To notice whether we'll be 
             Eb
drowned tonight or found tonight...

[Pre-Chorus]
          Gm7                 
So as the waves come, let 'em take 
Ebmaj7
us
        Bb                         
As they cover you and me, and they 
Fsus4        F
pull us underneath
             Gm7               
It takes the shape of who will 
Ebmaj7
save us.
        Bb
When it leaves it's hard to know,
      Fsus4            F
But I will not let you go.

[Chorus]
            Gm7           Eb      
I hope that fate will forgive us 
   Bb           F
for tempting the sea.
            Gm7           Ebmaj7
I hope that they won't forget us
      Bb                   F/A
No we can't go back to the way it 
used to be.

Gm  Eb  Bb  F/A

            Gm7           Ebmaj7
I hope that they won't forget us
      Bb                   F/A    
No we can't go back to the way it 
        Eb
used to be.
