Another great song by a terrific artist.

Intro C Am Em X2
Em
I am the deck, you are the sea,
Em C Am Em
I am the lights on the water, you are moving underneath, underneath me.
Em
I am the rail, you are the sea,
Em C Am Em
I don't know what I'm looking at, don't know if it's even happening underneath me.
Am C G Am Em
It doesn't take much. It doesn't take much to ruin a moment like this.
G Em
They curse your name, they whisper, "please, please, please."
G Em
They're yelling at your waves, "Stop crashing, just please bring her home to me!"
G Em
People can be so mean, they call you, "The Drowning Machine".
G C Am Em

Em
I'm the entertainment, you are the sea,
Em C Am Em
I am the survivor, you didn't even notice me underneath.
Em
I am the wreck, you are the sea,
Em C Am Em
I yelled your name cross the water, you just hummed a factory underneath me.
Am C G Am Em
It doesn't take much. It doesn't take much to ruin a moment like this.
G Em
I call your name, I whisper, "please, please, please."
G Em
Not yelling at your waves to stop crashing, just please, bring her home to me.
G Em
But people can be so mean, they call you, "The Drowning Machine."
The Drowning Machine.
