    G#    Fm7        Cm
Cascading waves of emotion
    G#    Fm7      Cm
Cascading over us still

From leaving feelings unspoken

The way we always will

Just keep going strong
With whatever it is, yeah
That's compelling you on, yeah
Don't be afraid when I'm gone
Keep whatever it is, yeah
That's compelling you on, yeah
