Bb   Dm   C

[Verse]
Bb
Hard days
                                        Dm
Thoughts flying trough my mind like airplanes
C                          Bb
Looking for something in a blank space
                Dm       C
I'm facing some hard days

Bb
Hallways
                          Dm
Echos break up the silent airwaves
C                         Bb
Strange how the memories reverberate
                   Dm      C
Around these empty hallways

             Gm                                    Dm     C
I thought I dammed that river but it's raining so hard
             Gm                                         Dm
Just when I thought I was done with wondering where you are
     C
you are

[Chorus]
        Bb
I cant hold back
C                       Dm
Hold back the flood when i look back
     C                   Bb
The cracks open up and i hold my breath as the waves start to come
Dm
Hold back the flood
C
Hold back the flood


Bb   Dm   C

[Verse]
Bb
Starry eyes
                                 Dm
Remember your voice just like a lullaby
C                              Bb
Repainting pictures that will fade with time
                    Dm    C
Almost forgot your starry eyes


           Gm                                    Dm     C
I thought I dammed that river but it's raining so hard
             Gm                                         Dm
Just when I thought I was done with wondering where you are
     C
you are

[Chorus]
        Bb
I cant hold back
C                       Dm
Hold back the flood when i look back
     C                   Bb
The cracks open up and i hold my breath as the waves start to come
Dm
Hold back the flood
C
Hold back the flood

Bb
Hold back
C                       Dm
Hold back the flood when i look back
     C                   Bb
The cracks open up and i hold my breath as the waves start to come
Dm
Hold back the flood
C
Hold back the flood

[Bridge]
C
The waters rising
            Dm
The water's rising
            F                      C
The water's rising when I think of you

I tell myself
            Dm
That i can fight it
       F                   C
I cant fight it but its so untrue

The waters rising
           Dm
The waters rising
           F
The waters rising

[Chorus]
        Bb
I cant hold back
C                       Dm
Hold back the flood when i look back
     C                   Bb
The cracks open up and i hold my breath as the waves start to come
Dm
Hold back the flood
C
Hold back the flood

Bb
Hold back
C                       Dm
Hold back the flood when i look back
     C                   Bb
The cracks open up and i hold my breath as the waves start to come
Dm
Hold back the flood
C
Hold back the flood
