A C#m Every breaking wave on the shore E B tells the next one there’ll be one more. A C#m And every gambler knows that to lose E B is what you’re really there for. A C#m Summer I was fearlessness, E B now I speak into an answer phone. A C#m Like every falling leaf on the breeze, E B winter wouldn’t leave it alone, alone. Chorus: A C#m If you go? E B If you go your way and I go mine. A C#m Are we so? E B Are we so helpless against the tide? A C#m Baby every dog on the street E B knows that we’re in love with defeat. A C#m Are we ready to be swept off our feet? E B A C#m E B And stop chasing every breaking wave. Every sailor knows that the sea Is a friend made enemy Every shipwrecked soul knows what it is To live without intimacy I thought I heard the captain's voice It's hard to listen while you preach Like every broken wave on the shore This is as far as I could reach Chorus F#m The sea knows where are the rocks, A And drowning is no sin. E You know where my heart is, B The same place that yours has been. F#m We know that we fear to win, A E And so we end before we begin, B Before we begin.
