Drowning

Tom: Dm

                 Dm
I live in your nightmares
     Bb             F
Your fears know my name
          C
I've been there for so long
        C                     Bb Dm
Now the water is flooding the cave
            Dm
I hear the voices
    Bb                   F
And all the things they say
     C                                              Bb Dm
I'd bear all your burdens, but they weren't mine to take

[Pre-Chorus]
C
To keep you safe, I'm

[Chorus]
Bb      Dm              C
Drowning in your deepest secrets, but I still keep them
Bb     Dm        C
Trouble breathing

I love you, but you're my weakness
Bb        Dm
You don't know
         C
That I'm sinking in the waves
          Bb      Dm   C
I need to let you go, oh
                          Bb
'Cause I can't carry the weight
Dm    C
Drowning
C                  Bb
I can't carry the weight
Dm    C
Drowning

[Verse 2]
                       Dm
I've been fighting to stay here
Bb             F
One too many nights
        C                                                     Bb Dm
Now my feet are caught up on the rocks as we push through the tide
Dm
I see all the memories
        Bb              F
I still hold them in my mind
        C                                                   Bb  Dm
But I'm hopeless, I'm trembling, can't take it, I promise I tried

[Pre-Chorus]
C
To keep you safe, I'm

[Chorus]
Bb      Dm              C
Drowning in your deepest secrets, but I still keep them
Bb     Dm        C
Trouble breathing

I love you, but you're my weakness
Bb        Dm
You don't know
         C
That I'm sinking in the waves
          Bb      Dm   C
I need to let you go, oh

'Cause I can't carry

[Bridge]
     Dm
The way that you say that you desperately need me
   Bb
I'm barely alive, now I'm tired, defeated
F
Gave you my heart and my soul for a reason
 C
Don't wanna leave you alone, but I'm bleeding
     Dm
I've carried the weight of your world on my shoulders
Bb
Hope that we find our way back when we're older
     F
But I gotta go to survive now, please, believe me

[Chorus]
Bb      Dm              C
Drowning in your deepest secrets, but I still keep them
Bb     Dm        C
Trouble breathing

I love you, but you're my weakness
Bb        Dm
You don't know
         C
That I'm sinking in the waves
          Bb      Dm   C
I need to let you go, oh
                          Bb
'Cause I can't carry the weight
