A#m             F#
Innocent, they swim
             A#m
I tell them 'no'
                    F#
They just dive right in
              G#
But do they know?

       A#m       F#
It's a long way down
                 G#
When you're alone
               Fm      F#
And there's no air or sound
       G#
Down below the surface

Chorus:
A#m      G#               C#
There's something in the water
               F#
I do not feel safe
   G#                 C#
It always feels like torture
    F       A#m
To be this close
   G#               C#
I wish that I was stronger
                 F#
I'd separate the waves
G#               C#
Not just let the water
 F      A#m
Take me away

There was a time I'd dip my feet
And it would roll off my skin
Now every time I get close to the edge
I'm scared of falling in

Cause I don't want to be stranded again
On my own
When the tide comes in
And pulls me below the surface

Chorus:
There's something in the water
I do not feel safe
It always feels like torture
To be this close
I wish that I was stronger
I'd separate the waves
Not just let the water
Take me away
