The Cure - The drowning man

She ^Dmstands twelve feet ^Emabove the flood She ^Bbstares Alone Across the water The l^Dmoneliness grows and ^Emslowly Fills her ^Bbfrozen body Sliding downwards

^GOne by one her ^F#senses die The ^Bbmemories fade And leave her eyes Still s^Geeing worlds that ^F#never were Bb Repeat Riff 1: [Dm, Em, Bb] x2 And one by one the bright birds leave her ... Repeat Riff 2: [G, F#, Bb] x 2

^DmStarting at the v^Emiolent sound She t^Bbries to turn But final Noiseless ^DmSlips and strikes her ^Emsoft dark head The ^Bbwater bows Receives her

And d^Growns her at its ^F#ease ^Bb D^Growns her at its ^F#ease ^Bb

I ^Dmwould have left the ^Emworld all bleeding ^BbCould I only help you love The ^Dmfleeting shapes so ^Emmany years a^Bbgo

^GEverything was t^F#rue It couldn't ^Bbbe a story I w^Gish it was all t^F#rue I wish it c^Bbouldn't be a story

The ^Dmwords all left me ^EmLifeless Hoping ^BbBreathing like the drowning man Oh F^Dmushia ^Em You leave me Bb G, F#, Bb Breathing like the drowning man Bb G, F#, Bb Breathing like the drowning man Repeat Riff 1,and 2 two times alternately to the end...
