D#m          B                                  C#
It’s not a prison, it’s not a demon, it's not a sin
D#m         B                         C#
oh It’s a state of mind I find myself in
D#m          B                         C#
It’s not a dream no it’s as real as it gets
D#m         B                             C#
and no I’m not lost I just lose myself I guess

B
When the sky gets too dark
D#m
When the water gets too deep

B
When I feed the fire so much
     F#           C#
That I can’t even take the heat

B
If I ever run too far
D#m
When the pieces come unglued
     C#
The mess of me will always need the best of you

Chorus:
        F#
Rescue - through all the highs and lows
     D#m
The can’t undo's I regret the most
     B                                       C#
The wall so hard feels like you can’t get through
       F#                       C
Rescue - every morning by your side
    D#m
Just one look at you sometimes
 B                                 C#
You don’t even know you’re coming to the rescue

Send a flare up in the eye of the storm
I send a prayer up and a bottle to the shore
But there are no words for what I'm searching for
What I mean is, that I'm needing you more

When the sky gets too dark
When the water gets too deep
When I feed the fire so much that
I can't even take the heat
If I ever run too far
And when the pieces come unglued
The mess of me will always need the best of you
Rescue

Chorus:
Through all the highs and lows
The can't undo's I regret the most
The wall so hard feels like I can't get through
Oh, the rescue
Every morning by your side
Just one look at you sometimes
You don't even know you're coming to
The rescue, yeah
Oh

Oh, if I ever run too far
And when the pieces come unglued
The mess of me will always need the best of you
The rescue

Chorus:
Through all the highs and lows
The can't undo's I regret the most
The wall so hard feels like I can't get through
Oh, rescue
Every morning by your side
Just one look at you sometimes
You don't even know you're coming to
The rescue, yeah

Mmm, the rescue
Mmm, oh, the rescue
Mmm, rescue
