[Verse 1]
Am Dm Am
I know you've been hurt
Dm F Dm
Many a time before
C Em C Em
Your heart bleeds rivers
Dm Em Am
Deep enough to drown
Am Dm Am
Thought I to be the one
Dm F Dm
To swim against the current
C Em C Em
Swim against the force
Dm Em Am
The force that pulls one down
[Chorus]
Am Dm Am
But no matter how hard I try
Am Dm C Em
I can't seem to win this fight
Am Dm Am
I seem to be further behind
G Em Am
Than I was when I met you
[Verse 2]
Am Dm Am
I know that you'll choose
Dm F Dm
Where you want to be
C Em C Em
Choose the heart of gold
Dm Em Am
And not the one for free
C Em C Em
Choose the heart of the past
Dm Em Am
Belonging not to me
[Chorus] (x2)
Am Dm Am
But no matter how hard I try
Am Dm C Em
I can't seem to win this fight
Am Dm Am
I seem to be further behind
G Em Am
Than I was when I met you
[Outro] (x6)
Am G F Em
Ohoh
