        D#m B          F#
Lay my head, under the water
       D#m  B          F#  A#7
Lay my head, under the sea
          D#m B           F#    A#
Excuse me sir, am I your daughter?
          D#m           G#m              D#m
Won't you take me back, take me back and see?

There's not a time for being younger
And all my friends are enemies
And if I cried unto my mother
No, she wasn't there, she wasn't there for me

G#m                           D#m
Don't let the water drag you down
(Don't let the water drag you down)
G#m                           D#m
Don't let the water drag you down

Broken lines across my mirror
Show my face, all red and bruised
And though I screamed and I screamed
Well, no one came running
No, I wasn't saved, I wasn't safe from you

G#m                           D#m
Don't let the water drag you down
(Don't let the water drag you down)
G#m                           D#m
Don't let the water drag you down

Chorus:
B                                             D#m
Don't let me drown, don't let me drown in the waves,
oh
B                                         D#m
I could be found, I could be what you had saved
B D#m  B D#m  B D#m
Saved, saved, saved

Lay my head under the water
Aloud, I pray for calmer seas
And when I wake from this dream
With chains all around me
No, I've never been, I've never been free
No, I've never been, I've never been free
No, I've never been, I've never been free
