Treading Water

G                        D
You said it was gonna be different this time
C
I was on the road, I swore I'd find
G                        D                 C
Was gonna be the girl that always knew I'd be
G                        D
But I burned too hot, too fast, too bright
C
A falling star bound to lose its shine
G                      D               C
I'm right back where I said I wouldn't be
Am                         D
Stick around then you will see


[Chorus]

Em                D
I'm just treading water
C             G
Trying not to drown
             Em              D
While you're standing on the edge
          C           G
With both feet on the ground
Em          D
If you only knew
    C                 G
How far you'd have to fall
Am   D
Then baby you wouldn't want me at all


[Interlude]

G D C x2


[Verse]

G                  D
Took my hand, said it's okay
C
We're all messed up in our own way
        G               D               C
There's room enough for two here in the dark
    G                 D
But I don't think you really get
     C
How often I'm a losing bet
G                          D             C
I'm gonna wreck it all and watch it fall apart
Am                         D
Stick around and you will see


[Chorus]

Em                D
I'm just treading water
C             G
Trying not to drown
             Em              D
While you're standing on the edge
          C           G
With both feet on the ground
Em          D
If you only knew
    C                 G
How far you'd have to fall
     Am   D
Then baby you wouldn't want me at all
