Treading Water

[Intro]



G D C x2





[Verse]



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







[Outro]



G D C x2
