I Am The Undertow

[Intro]
          Am
Are you scared?
 
Can your feet touch the bottom?
    Bm           Dm
How far is the sand?
         C               Am                  Em      E Am E
Are you inches or miles from where you can stand?
         Am
Are you lost?
 
You've lost sight of the shoreline
    Bm             Dm
Is this what you planned?
         C                 A     Am       Em
Is that kelp at your ankle or is it a hand?
 
 
[Verse 1]
Dm                       Gm              Dm
You must be scared, and you're right to fear
               Am       Gm     Dm
Your mind is racing, seeking escape
                       Gm                    Dm
Holding your breath - what's left should be dear
                Am     Gm            Dm
Don't bother fighting; now it's too late
 
 
[Chorus]
Am       F    Am
I am the undertow
Dm            Am         A        E
Come take my hand; I'll drag you below
Am         F  Am
I am the riptide
Dm           Am
Leading you down, your saltwater bride
F              Am      F               Am
Catching your clothes and pulling you near
Dm                Em  Am
Can't you hear mе calling?
Dm                                   Am
It ebbs and flows, the tide of your fеar
Dm               Em   Am
Give yourself to falling
         F   Am
I am the riptide
Dm       E7   Am
I am the undertow
 
 
[Verse 2]
Dm                  Gm
Why are you scared? There's peace in defeat
Dm            Am    Gm       Dm
This could be easy: Only let go
           Am      Gm            Dm
Try to believe the end could be sweet
           Am       Gm        Dm
Sleep is a kindness I can bestow
 
 
[Chorus]
Am       F    Am
I am the undertow
Dm            Am         A        E
Come take my hand; I'll drag you below
Am       F   Am
I am the riptide
Dm           Am
Leading you down, your saltwater bride
F               Am     F               Am
Catching your clothes and pulling you near
Dm                Em  Am
Can't you hear me calling?
Dm                                   Am
It ebbs and flows, the tide of your fear
Dm               Em  Am
Give yourself to falling
         F   Am
I am the riptide
Dm       E7   Am
I am the undertow
 
 
[Outro]
 
Are you scared?
                         Am
Can your feet touch the bottom?
 
How far is the sand?
                              Am
Are you inches or miles from where you can stand?
