C#      F#
Way down
G#         C#     F#
I’ve been way down
G#    C#         A#m
Underneath this skin
         F#              G#
Waiting to hear my name again

Chorus:
     C#  F#
I’m sorry
G#          C#     F#
Nothing can hold me
G#  C#          F#
I adore you still
    G#           A#m    G# F#
But I hear them calling
     G#          C#
And nothing can hold me

Way down
(Do you really want me?)
All the way down
(Do you really want me here?)
I will hear your voice
(Do you really want me?)
But I’ll no longer understand
(But it's really not me here)

Chorus:
I’m sorry
Nothing can hold me
I adore you still
But I hear them calling

C#     C#+             C#
I was looking to the sky
C#+     F#m          C#
When I knew I’d be swimming home
    C#    C#+           C#
And I cannot betray my kind
C#+     F#m
They are here
         G#
It’s my time

Chorus:
I’m sorry
Nothing can hold me
(Do you really want me here?)
I adore you still
But I hear them calling
(Calling)
And nothing can hold me
