[Intro]
C
 
 
[Verse]
 C                       G/B
Rest my head against the wall
               F                C
Waitin' for a call that never came
        Am             F
'Cause time moves so slowly
                   G
When you're still holding on to blame
    C                        G/B
I tried but can't forget the day
                          F                      C
You were reachin' for my hand as I touched your face
            Am                 F
When your secrets were still safe from me
           G
Till your eyes gave you away
 
 
[Chorus]
F                       C                 G
  'Cause we are drowning above the water
              Am       G  F
In a movie drained of colour
               C                   G
Luckless lovers with a past that's
                   Am    G  F
Just a string of small disasters
                         C              G
I'd give it all just to feel somethin' real
 
 
[Verse 2]
     C                     G/B
And now I see the warning signs
                      F                C
With the benefit of hindsight, I was blind
        Am                F
To the way you'd make me feel so crazy
 G
Just to protect your lies
     C                    G/B
And all I wanted was the truth
                    Dm                C
The better part of you that I still see
        Am             F
'Cause love is all we have to give
          G
But you took my best for free
 
 
[Chorus]
F                       C                 G
  'Cause we are drowning above the water
              Am       G  F
In a movie drained of colour
               C                   G
Luckless lovers with a past that's
                   Am    G  F
Just a string of small disasters
                         C              G
I'd give it all just to feel somethin' real
 
 
[Bridge]
        Dm                     C
And the one thing that really hurts is
        Am                  G
We were so close to being perfect
       Dm             Am
And I know you'll be okay
                 G
And that's what kills me, yeah
 
 
[Chorus]
F                       C                 G
  'Cause we are drowning above the water
              Am       G  F
In a movie drained of colour
               C                   G
Luckless lovers with a past that's
                   Am    G  F
Just a string of small disasters
F                       C                 G
  'Cause we are drowning above the water
              Am       G  F
In a movie drained of colour
               C                   G
Luckless lovers with a past that's
                   Am    G  F
Just a string of small disasters
                         C              G      Am       G
I'd give it all just to feel somethin' real, somethin' real
F                            C              G
Oh, I'd give it all just to feel somethin' real
              Rest my head against the wall
Waiting for a call that never came
'Cause time moves so slowly when you're still holding onto blame

I tried but can't forget the day
You were reaching for my hand as I touched your face
When your secrets were still safe from me
Till your eyes gave you away

'Cause we are drowning
Above the water
In a movie drained of colour
Luckless lovers
With a past that's just a string of small disasters
I'd give it all just to feel something real

And now I see the warning signs
With the benefit of hindsight I was blind
To the way you'd make me feel so crazy
Just to protect your lies

And all I wanted was the truth
The better part of you that I still see
'Cause love is all we have to give
But you took my best for free

'Cause we are drowning
Above the water
In a movie drained of colour
Luckless lovers
With a past that's just a string of small disasters
I'd give it all just to feel something real

And the one thing that really hurts is
We were so close to being perfect
And I know you'll be okay
And that's what kills me, yeah

'Cause we are drowning
Above the water
In a movie drained of colour
Luckless lovers
With a past that's just a string of small disasters

'Cause we are drowning
Above the water
In a movie drained of colour
Luckless lovers
With a past that's just a string of small disasters
I'd give it all just to feel something real
(Something real)
Oh, I'd give it all just to feel something real
