Carrie Newcomer - Below the waves

^DmSometimes I ^Cjust give up ^Gtrying It ^Dmseems like a ^Clifetime that ^GI've been fighting It was ^Fhard enough just ^Cgetting out of ^Gbed today I'd ^Fcall someone, but ^Cwhat on earth would I ^Geven say?

^DmHere in this ^Cairless ^Gspace With ^Dmno one to ^Cplead your ^Gpitiful case Some ^Fcall this thing the ^Csoul of ^Gsadness Self-in^Fdulgence or a ^Cbrilliant ^Gmadness

All I ^Fknow is, I'm d^Cying for a^Gir ^BbSwimming just be^Clow the waves, ^FI can see the ^Csky ^BbLooking darkly ^Cthrough the haze, the m^Foon is drifting ^Cby ^BbSomeone cuts the ^Canchor and ^Fslowly, up I ^Grise

An ^Dmunwelcome ^Cguest in your ^Ghome It ^Dmcomes here to ^Cstay and ^Gnever wants to go ^FNot so much a ^Cshadow but a ^Gvisitation A ^Fhaunting, foreign ^Cmovie with ^Gno translation

There's a ^Dmbuzzing white ^Cnoise in my ^Ghead Then ^Dmsometimes, so ^Csilent, I’m ^Galmost dead ^FOne true thing I ^Chold to, dear and^G fast A ^Fvoice that whispers, "^CDarling, this ^Gtoo will pass”

^FEven when I'm ^Cdying for ^Gair ^BbSwimming just be^Clow the waves, ^FI can see the ^Csky ^BbLooking darkly ^Cthrough the haze, the ^Fmoon is drifting ^Cby ^BbSomeone cuts the ^Canchor and ^Fslowly, up I ^Gri-i-ise, i-ise, i-ise

^DmThis is a ^Cpicture, not a com^Gplaint And ^Dmmaking full ^Csentences has ^Gnever been my strength Some ^Fcall this thing the ^Csoul of ^Gsadness Self-in^Fdulgence or a ^Cbrilliant ^Gmadness

All I ^Fknow is, I'm d^Cying for a^Gir All I ^Fknow is, I'm d^Cying for a^Gir
