[Verse]
Em
I walk around everyday
D
With my head above the darkness
Em
The storm below
I just can't face it
C
So I don't
[Verse]
Em
You say I don't care at all
D
But if you only knew
Em
At night all the sleep I lose
G
Over what I can't change
[Pre-Chorus]
Em D
You don't understand that this world's too cold
Am
And my skin's not thick
C
It's too thin
Em
In an ocean that's as big as this
D Am
It's hard to stay afloat, not sink
C
I think I might just sink
[Chorus]
Em C
So I need to think shallow thoughts
G
So that I don't fall too deep
D
In water I can't tame
Em
'Cos that's the only way I know
How to stay breathing
Am
And keep myself from feeling
G D
Every single blow that comes my way
G
I just stay in the shallow
[Verse]
Em
The world can be a scary place
D
And it can tear you up if you let it
Em D
So I had to learn to forget it the hard way
[Pre-Chorus]
Em D
Oh, you don't understand that this world's too cold
Am
And my skin's not thick
C
It's too thin
Em
In an ocean that's as big as this
D Am
It's hard to stay afloat, not sink
C
I think I might just sink
[Chorus]
Em C
So I need to think shallow thoughts
G
So that I don't fall too deep
D
In water I can't tame
Em
'Cos that's the only way that I know
How to stay breathing
Am
And keep myself from feeling
G D
Every single blow that comes my way
G
I just stay in the shallow
Em C
Need to think shallow thoughts
G
So that I don't fall too deep
D
In water I can't tame
Em
'Cos that's the only way I know
How to stay breathing
Am
And keep myself from feeling
G D
Every single blow that comes my way
G
I just stay in the shallow
Em C
Need to think shallow thoughts
G
So that I don't fall too deep
D
In water I can't tame
Em
'Cos that's the only way I know
How to stay breathing
Am
And keep myself from feeling
G D
Every single blow that comes my way
Em C
So I need to think shallow thoughts
G
So that I don't fall too deep
D
In water I can't tame
Em
'Cos that's the only way I know
How to stay breathing
Am
And keep myself from feeling
G D
Every single blow that comes my way
G
I just stay in the shallow
