A              E
My mother once told me
    F#m              E  D
She walked into the ocean
A              E
Didn't want to die
              F#m               E      D
Just couldn't tell where the horizon was
D         E      F#m     D
Wanted to have a closer look
D           E       F#m         D         A
Why is this costume weighing me down?

[Chorus]
       D             A
And my head hurts
          D
Tear the sails down

[Verse 2]
A              E
Tired of being lonely
          F#m               E        D
Trying to rest and I don't wanna get up
A             E
Error lies in hoping
F#m             E      D
Walking in the deep water
D      E            F#m        D
Lines, lines on the back of my hand
D        E         F#m         D       A
Why does love keep letting me down?

[Chorus]
       D             A
And my head hurts
         D
Tear the sails down

[Verse 3]
D         E              F#m           D
Write the lines with the back of my hand
         E           F#m        D
Why does love keep letting me down?

A D x2

[Outro]
D        E         F#m          D     E
Why does love keep letting me down?
     F#m       D
Stop letting me down
