 D                                    A
Watching everything you ever held on to
Slip away from you
D
All you’re running from
                           A
Well, it’s catching up to you

                       G
Got you lookin' for a lifeline
                 Bm
Swimmin' in the high tide
                 G
Waitin' for the daylight
              A
To bring you home

Chorus:
     D
the world is too big to never ask why
    G                                        A
the answers don’t fall straight out of the sky
     D
I’m fightin' to live and feel alive
    G                                       A
But I can’t feel a thing without you by my side
G A
Send me out a lifeline

You’re watching everyone you ever belonged to
Walk away from you
Maybe all along you’ve been running from the truth

Got you looking for a lifeline
You're swimming in the high tide
Waiting for the daylight
To bring you home

Chorus:
Oh, the world is too big to never ask why
The answers don’t fall straight out of the sky
I’m fighting to live and feel alive
But I can’t feel a thing without you by my side
Send me out a lifeline

Got you looking for a lifeline
Swimming in the high tide
Waiting for the daylight
To bring me home

You'll see..

Chorus:
The world is too big to never ask why
The answers don’t fall straight out of the sky
I’m fighting to live and feel alive
But I can’t feel a thing without you by my side
Send me out a lifeline

Won't you send me out a lifeline
Send me out a lifeline
