G                            C G/B G
I'll use a lock that has no key
                 C G/B G
Bind you with chains
Dm    Em    F         G C G/B G
That no one else can see

Let the water creep over your face
I'll send it in waves
Just to watch you perform the great escape

Chorus:
Em                C
How long can you hold your breath
G
While you hold mine again and wait
D                                   G
Just to watch you perform the great escape

I'll pull your arms tight behind you back
Use myself as weight
And wonder while you fade

Chorus
