Intro :

D       A       Em      G

D               A
 Sitting here alone thinking it through
       Em                               G  
Trying to convince myself that I'm not losing you       
D                      A
 Or can't you just forget the things I said 
       Em                              G
I was angry at that time but now I've cleared my head
           Em                           A
It was so strong , where did it all go wrong

*(Chorus)
            D                              Em
So tell me why , I'm swimming against the tide
                       G                  A
And I'm praying for a lifeline cause I'm losing you
            D                          Em
So tell me why you took care enough to try
                         G
Are you giving up this fight, I can't stand 
A                   D
Wont stand, losing you

D                         A
 You don't have to say a word its in your eyes
     Em                           G
What can I do to convince you we need more time
D                       A
 And I know I may have made a few mistakes
     Em                             G
But losing you is just too much for me to take
           Em                           A
It was so strong , where did it all go wrong

*Chorus:
            D                              Em
So tell me why , I'm swimming against the tide
                       G                  A
And I'm praying for a lifeline cause I'm losing you
            D                          Em
So tell me why you took care enough to try
                         G
Are you giving up this fight, I can't stand 
A                   G
Wont stand, losing you

G                   D
So tell me what to say
          Em                 A  
Because I need a chance to change
           Em       G
And I wont let you walk away

*Chorus (2x)
            D                              Em
So tell me why , I'm swimming against the tide
                       G                  A
And I'm praying for a lifeline cause I'm losing you
            D                        Em
So tell me why u took care enough to try
                         G
Are you giving up this fight, I can't stand 
A                   D
Wont stand, losing you

G           A      D
Wont stand losing you
G           A      D
Wont stand losing you
