 C                        G 
Rest my head against the wall
               F               C
Waitin' for a call that never came
        Am             F
'Cause time moves so slowly
                   G
When you're still holding on to blame

I tried but can't forget the day
You were reachin' for my hand as I touched your face
When your secrets were still safe from me
Till your eyes gave you away

Chorus:
F                     C                G
'Cause we are drowning above the water
             Am        G  F
In a movie drained of colour
               C                  G
Luckless lovers with a past that's
                  Am      G  F
Just a string of small disasters
                         C              G
I'd give it all just to feel somethin' real

And now I see the warning signs
With the benefit of hindsight, I was blind
To the way you'd make me feel so crazy
Just to protect your lies

And all I wanted was the truth
The better part of you that I still see
'Cause love is all we have to give
But you took my best for free

Chorus:
'Cause we are drowning above the water
In a movie drained of colour
Luckless lovers with a past that's
Just a string of small disasters
I'd give it all just to feel something real

        Dm                     C
And the one thing that really hurts is
        Am                 G
We were so close to being perfect
       Dm             Am
And I know you'll be okay
                 G
And that's what kills me, yeah

Chorus:
'Cause we are drowning above the water
In a movie drained of colour
Luckless lovers with a past that's
Just a string of small disasters
'Cause we are drowning above the water
In a movie drained of colour
Luckless lovers with a past that's
Just a string of small disasters
I'd give it all just to feel somethin' real, somethin' real
Oh, I'd give it all just to feel somethin' real
