Introduction:
D G
You fight for every breath,
D A
Caught without a ship in this sea of neglect,
D G D
The one you swore to love is pulling you down,
G
You're in over your head,
D A
Chilled to the bone by the waters you tread,
D G D
Chart a course to land before you drown,
(chorus)
G A
Swim to the nearest distant shore,
D G
There's only so much your heart can endure,
A
You gave it your best forgive yourself,
D
You can't hold on anymore,
G A
It's not as far as it might seem,
D G
Now it's time to let go of old dreams,
A
Every heart for itself,
D
Swim to the nearest distant shore,
(verse 2)

But this ain't success it's a living hell,

There's nothing left to lose,
D
You're already alone,
(chorus)
