Intro: C G D Em

C             G
Take take it all away
D                   Em
Save my heart for another day
C                     G
I'm up late on the telephone 
         D              G*
And I'm all alone with the dial tone
C                  G
Wait wait til the sun is up
D                      Em
Drown my dreams in a coffee cup
C                  G
Palms out, wanna beg for luck
D*                          G*
But I'm way too proud, never giving up

C G     D              Em
Oh, something's gotta happen
C                  G
Something's gotta give
                 D      G
And something's got to break
C     G   D                 Em
I know someday it's gonna happen
     C              G
Someday it's gonna give
             D       G
Can't always be this way

              C               G
And if the riptide comes to get me
               D           Em                  C
And pulls me under, it won't upset me, I'll go down
G D G
(Oh x10)
                 C               G
I'll throw the white flag of surrender
          D          Em             C
Knock me down, not forever, just for now
G D G
(Oh x10)

C              G
Give give everything I've got
D                      Em
Out of reach but I'll take a shot
C                   G
Kick rocks in the parking lot
            D                  G*
Feel like giving up, but I'll never stop
C                 G
Run run, running like a fool
D                 Em
Never win if you never lose
C                 G
Find hope and a little truth
        D*                      G*
Gonna learn new tricks, gotta jump through hoops

C G     D              Em
Oh, something's gotta happen
C                  G
Something's gotta give
                 D      G
And something's got to break
C     G   D                 Em
I know someday it's gonna happen
     C              G
Someday it's gonna give
             D       G
Can't always be this way

              C               G
And if the riptide comes to get me
               D           Em                  C
And pulls me under, it won't upset me, I'll go down

       D              Em
Not forever, just for now
       C            G            D
Not forever, not forever, not forever
            Em
Won't stay down
       C               G
Not forever, just for now
       D              Em
Not forever, just for now
       C            G            D
Not forever, not forever, not forever
            Em
Won't stay down
