Bm A
The sun came down and burnt your face
Em A
One way ticket from love to hate
Bm A
Under where it all begins
Em A
All stood still and hollowing
[Interlude]
G Cm G Cm
[Verse]
Bm A
The bird that fell out of its cage
Em A
wants to go back there again
Bm A
Every star is on it's way
Em A
You're the only one that stayed
[Chorus]
G Cm
All the time you could have saved
G Cm
All the time you gave away
G
You know the heart beneath the waves
Cm
the one that I was trying to save
Em Cm
the one that almost slipped away was mine
G
I was sinking at such pace
Cm
holding breathe beneath the waves
Em Cm
The time it takes to compensate is up
[Verse]
Bm A
Something pulls us into shape
Em A
Leaves your body where you lay
Bm A
Theories come inside my head
Em A
filling all the spaces left
[Chorus]
G
You know the heart beneath the waves
Cm
the one that I was trying to save
Em Cm
the one that almost slipped away was mine
G
I was sinking at such pace
Cm
holding breathe beneath the waves
Em Cm
The time it takes to compensate is up
[Outro]
G# Gm
I see the waves
Cm F
and the time it takes for me to be saved
G# Gm Cm F
And it's easily the most powerful thing I've ever seen
G# Gm
And you have to know
Cm F
I couldn't see it here on my own
G# Gm
And you have to know
Cm F
I couldn't see it here all alone.
