B* Bb* Db* (4x)

Verse 1:
Db                      F#
  Time to see this for what it is
Ebm                    Ab                
  Bite the bullet and take the hit
   Db                    F#
I thoght it was, but it wasn't our turn now
Ebm                  Ab
   All I can do is just let it burn, baby

Pre-Chorus:
E        F#           Db
  After all I was no angel
        E              F#                Db              Ab
Now you speak and in codes that I don't know or can't untangle

Chorus:
      B*      F#*    Db*
Like letters in the sand
         B*    F#*    Db*
There's gonna come a wave
     B*    F#*  Db*         
It washes you away from me 
      B*     F#*     Db*
like letters in the sand

Verse 2:
Db                        F#
  There was no anger, no cries out loud
Ebm                 Ab
   Like the tide we just ran out
Db                      F#
  Hell of a lesson that I had to learn
Ebm                Ab
  All I can do is just let it burn, baby


Pre-Chorus:
E        F#           Db
  After all I was no angel
        E              F#                Db              Ab
Now you speak and in codes that I don't know or can't untangle
