D
I wish I was you
F#m                     C#m
A piece of gold at the bottom of the blue
D
To heavy to swim
F#m       C#m
But too beautiful to lose
D
Hold in my breath
F#m         C#m
And diving down to give you air
D          F#m            C#m
I never knew the colours that surround you

Chorus:
(Wake up, wake up)
D                      E
Holding on forever to keep you
    F#m        C#m          D
To keep from slipping too deep
D                                E
If you want to escape you don't need to
F#m   A
Just look for me
D               F#m      E
I'm taking in water for you, my love
D           F#m                 E
Pulling you out I'll take the blue away
D           F#m       E
I'm taking water my breath I'll remember
D           F#m       E
I'm taking water for you

You picked up the light,
the spectrum begged to turn to white
Too bright to be seen,
I wish that beautiful boy was me
Never alone, the sky's
a different shade of brave
Making you glow,
the colors dance around you

Chorus

E              D
Treasures are lost in depth
           E      C#m          F#m
And their buried down in your soul
A                    D E
Buried down in your soul

Chorus
