  down below the surface    underneath the blue


    Am                           D  n.C.
  gonna swim with all my might just to get away from you.. and

  two ships blown off course we collided in the night now there's

   G          C        G       C              G          C
  it might burn out by morn'in (by morn'in) but it might not just

       G          C           Am
   the same (just the same)  cause a higher tide is turning


    D                  Am                      D  n.C.
  right before my eyes something is burning and now I  realize it's

         G          C         G     C       G          C
