Em   G
Oh, no, get ready
C          D
I feel it coming, it's coming again
Em       G
I Stay close, hold steady
C  D
Cause I don't want it, don't want it to end

Em          G
Those brown eyes,
              C      D
Crying in a crowded bar
                  Em         G
And every time we get this close
                    C  D/F#
It's always pulling us apart

Chorus:
C
Don't let the tide come and wash us away
Am
Don't let the tide come and take me
Em
Just want a safe place to hide us away
D/F#
Don't let the tide come and take me
C
Don't let the tide come and wash us away
Am
Don't let the tide come and take me
Em
Far from with you where I wanna stay
D/F#
So don't let the tide come and take me

Oh no, get ready
I feel it coming, it's coming again
Don't give up, and don't let me
'Cause I'm needing you to understand

When I go, all I ever seem to fear
Is that you're gonna find someone
And slowly watch me disappear

Chorus

C
Oh, no, get ready
Am
I feel it coming, it's coming again
Em
I Stay close, hold steady
D/F#                                    C
Cause I don't want it, don't want it to end
 Am                                      Em D
No, No I don't want it, don't want it to end

Chorus
