Key:
A E F#m I went to the water's edge
F#m D A E Forgot I couldn't swim
A E F#m I went to the water's edge
F#m A D A E All ready to jump in
A E D A I saw the water shimmer
A E A I heard the wind howl
A E D A I saw my own reflection
A E A I just can't see it now
A E F#m You say it's the way of the world
F#m D A E To somehow co-exists
A E F#m That eventually life unfurls
A D A E A path to happiness
A E D A So I whisper your little secret
Continues after the ad
D A E And repeat it under my breath
A E D A I'll save it for you in my heart
A E A In case we both forget
F#m E D A Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
F#m E D I am gripped by a loneliness
F#m E D A Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
A E A I'd be released in your tenderness
A E A I'd be released in your tenderness
A E F#m I went to the water's edge
D A E And saw my life eclipse
A E F#m I went to the water's edge
A D A E And then felt myself slip
A E D A I dreamed that I was floating
A E A Just coast until I grew fins
A E D A I want to catch this tide back home
D E A And feel you again
F#m E D A Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
F#m E D I am gripped by a loneliness
F#m E D A Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
A E A I'd be released in your tenderness
F#m E D A Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
F#m E D I am gripped by a loneliness
F#m E D A Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
A E A I'd be released in your tenderness
A E A I'd be released in your tenderness
A E A I'd be released in your tenderness
