Intro- 

    G  Bm  D  A 
    G  Bm  D  A  A


               G           Bm
Every breaking wave on the shore
          D                        A
Tells the next one there’ll be one more
              G                 Bm
And every gambler knows that to lose
   D                        A
Is what you’re really there for
             G            Bm
Summer I was fearlessness
      D                    A
Now I speak into an answer phone
               G               Bm
Like every falling leaf on the breeze
D                         A      A  
Winter wouldn’t leave it alone 



         G    Bm
If you go?
          D                    A
If you go your way and I'll go mine 
         G   Bm
Are we so?
          D                    A
Are we so helpless against the tide?
           G                Bm
Baby every dog on the street 
                    D              A
Knows that we’re in love with defeat 
                   G                 Bm
Are we ready to be swept off our feet?
           D      A              G    Bm   D   A
And stop chasing, every breaking wave 



             G              Bm
Every sailor knows that the sea 
     D                A
Is a friend made enemy 
                      G                   Bm
And every shipwrecked soul, knows what it is 
   D                  A
To live without intimacy 
                      G              Bm
I thought I heard the captain’s voice 
             D                A
It’s hard to listen while you preach 
                  G           Bm
Like every broken wave on the shore  
D                         A     A    
This is as far as I could reach 



         G    Bm
If you go?
          D                 A
If you go your way and I go mine 
         G   Bm
Are we so?
          D                    A
Are we so helpless against the tide?
           G                Bm
Baby every dog on the street 
                    D              A
Knows that we’re in love with defeat 
                   G                 Bm
Are we ready to be swept off our feet?
           D      A              Em     G  D  A
And stop chasing, every breaking wave 



     Em              G                 D                A

    Em                                 
The sea knows where are the rocks  
              G
And drowning is no sin 
D                               
You know where my heart is  
    A
The same place that yours has been 
Em                          
We know that we fear to win  
    G                     D
And so we end before we begin 
            A
Before we begin 



         G    Bm
If you go?
          D                    A
If you go your way and I'll go mine 
         G   Bm
Are we so?
          D                    A
Are we so helpless against the tide?
           G                Bm
Baby every dog on the street 
                    D              A
Knows that we’re in love with defeat 
                   G                 Bm
Are we ready to be swept off our feet?
           D      A              G    Bm   D   A   G
And stop chasing, every breaking wave
