D - A - C#7
[Verse 1]
F#m C#7
Stuck in the old ways
F#m C#7
I can see that you’re afraid
D A C#7*
Who are you trying to please?
F#m C#7
Weakness behind your eyes
F#m C#7
Find it hard to sympathize
D A C#7*
You’re everything I wanted to be
F#m C#7
I won’t stand to see you fall
F#m C#7
I know you most of all
D A C#7*
And in this dark you’ll never see
[Chorus]
F#m A C#7
But it’s not up to me, you can drown alone
F#m A C#7
As if you were thrown and deny you’re alive
A F#m C#7
But if you get swept up with the tied
A F#m C#7
Still haven’t died and for now I’ll stay
F#m
Right by your side
[Verse 2]
F#m C#7
Is it really worth this?
F#m C#7
Claiming you are worthless
D A C#7*
Who are you trying to be?
F#m C#7
Remember when your mood was fine
F#m C#7
Now your joy’s become a crime
D A C#7*
All your pain won’t seem to leave
[Chorus]
F#m A C#7
But it’s not up to me, you can drown alone
F#m A C#7
As if you were thrown and deny you’re alive
A F#m C#7
But if you get swept up with the tied
A F#m C#7
Still haven’t died and for now I’ll stay
F#m
Right by your side
[Verse 3]
F#m C#7
You claim that I’m never there
F#m C#7
That I’m always unaware
D A C#7*
As I try to bring you back where you can breathe
[Chorus]
F#m A C#7
But it’s not up to me, you can drown alone
F#m A C#7
As if you were thrown and deny you’re alive
A F#m C#7
But if you get swept up with the tied
A F#m C#7
Still haven’t died and for now I’ll stay
F#m
Right by your side
