A#m F# Innocent, they swim A#m I tell them 'no' F# They just dive right in G# But do they know? A#m F# It's a long way down G# When you're alone Fm F# And there's no air or sound G# Down below the surface Chorus: A#m G# C# There's something in the water F# I do not feel safe G# C# It always feels like torture F A#m To be this close G# C# I wish that I was stronger F# I'd separate the waves G# C# Not just let the water F A#m Take me away There was a time I'd dip my feet And it would roll off my skin Now every time I get close to the edge I'm scared of falling in Cause I don't want to be stranded again On my own When the tide comes in And pulls me below the surface Chorus: There's something in the water I do not feel safe It always feels like torture To be this close I wish that I was stronger I'd separate the waves Not just let the water Take me away You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#m  C#  F  Fm  F#  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
