A           E       F#m
I went to the water's edge
F#m D    A        E
Forgot I couldn't swim
  A           E       F#m
I went to the water's edge
F#m A     D  A    E
All ready to jump in

A     E         D      A
I saw the water shimmer
A         E      A
I heard the wind howl
A        E     D      A
I saw my own reflection
A            E      A
I just can't see it now

    A            E          F#m
You say it's the way of the world
F#m D      A  E
To somehow co-exists
     A          E          F#m
That eventually life unfurls
  A    D  A    E
A path to happiness

     A            E      D    A
So I whisper your little secret
    D         A        E
And repeat it under my breath
     A       E          D  A
I'll save it for you in my heart
   A       E    A
In case we both forget

   F#m            E             D      A
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
     F#m          E     D
I am gripped by a loneliness
      F#m            E             D      A
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
         A              E     A
I'd be released in your tenderness
         A              E     A
I'd be released in your tenderness

  A           E       F#m
I went to the water's edge
    D      A     E
And saw my life eclipse
  A           E       F#m
I went to the water's edge
    A         D A     E
And then felt myself slip

  A              E       D  A
I dreamed that I was floating
     A       E          A
Just coast until I grew fins
  A       E          D         A
I want to catch this tide back home
    D    E    A
And feel you again

   F#m            E             D      A
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
     F#m          E     D
I am gripped by a loneliness
      F#m            E             D      A
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
       A              E     A
I'd be released in your tenderness

      F#m            E             D      A
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
     F#m          E     D
I am gripped by a loneliness
      F#m            E             D      A
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
       A              E     A
I'd be released in your tenderness
       A              E     A
I'd be released in your tenderness
       A              E     A
I'd be released in your tenderness
