Standard (EADGBE)

Pardon me my mistake

  Thought it might turn for a break

  But since the rain loves my face

  i'll let it be

  Long since i gave up on long walks

  To make up for long talks

  Cause lately the silence wont stop talking to me

Chorus

(And/Cause) Im getting weary waiting for

  the harbor lights to change

  ive forgotten what i do it for

  but i tread water just the same

  i tread water .... i tread water

  Thought ive earned my fair share

  heard the devil may care

  but i called him up he's not there

  what does that mean?

(repeat chorus)

Bridge

  Thought that life would lead far from beauty's beast

  well i know at least you cant count me out

  cause im used to the water now

(repeat 1st 4 lines of chorus)

Coda

 and i'll never let this pair of hands forget to pull their weights

 it's burdened maybe more than i would like to bear but less than i can take

 and ill tread water

tread water tread water tread water fade...
