CF Tore a line in the sun GF Like there's nothing to regret and nothing to prove CF Set my sights high enough GF So I see the turning tides are parting for you
[Chorus]
CF Taking back an empty threat AmG More than you could ever know CF Take it back with no regrets AmG I was better off when I was on your side
And I was holding on CF To try and not forget AmG Hoping that you'd never know CF Take it back with no regrets AmG I was better off when I was on your side CFAmG And I was holding on
[Verse 2]
CF No more times second guessed GF Like there's nothing to forget and nothing to lose CF Hold my ground long enough GF Till I see the turning tides are coming from you
[Chorus]
CF Taking back an empty threat AmG More than you could ever know CF Take it back with no regrets AmG I was better off when I was on your side
And I was holding on CF To try and not forget AmG Hoping that you'd never know CF Take it back with no regrets AmG I was better off when I was on your side
[Verse 3]
F If we wanna stay here, can we see the waves?
They're spilling over us, filling our insides Am In the rising water, in the rising tide G They're spilling over me, filling my insides F If we wanna stay here, can we see the waves?
They're spilling over us, filling our insides Am In the rising water, in the rising tide G We wait for the fall (I gotta tell you)
[Verse 4]
F Maybe the water's high (I've gotta tell you)
But I can see the difference (I've gotta tell you) Am Maybe the water's high (I've gotta tell you) G But I can see the difference (I've gotta tell you) F Maybe the water's high (I've gotta tell you)
But I can see the difference (I've gotta tell you) Am Maybe the water's high (I've gotta tell you) G But I know that this is different
[Chorus]
CF Taking back an empty threat AmG More than you could ever know CF Take it back with no regrets AmG I was better off when I was on your side
And I was holding on CF To try and not forget AmG Hoping that you'd never know CF Take it back with no regrets AmG I was better off when I was on your side CFAmG And I was holding on
