The Other Favorites - Waking Up Drowning

      [Verse 1]
Dm                      Bb
I know you can hear me calling
                       G
as sure as the day is dawning
                     Dm
but silence is all I got.

Dm                    Bb
And what did I do to you - oh -
                     G
to make you treat me so wrong
                 Dm
the tragedy I forgot.


[Chorus]
Bb              F                 Gm                  Dm
  I'm waking up drowning and your heart is holding me down.
Bb                 F                 Gm                   G
  The water rose around me and your words they tossed me around
      Bb                  A              Dm
and I know you won't give up until I've drowned.


[Verse 2]
Dm                         Bb
It looks like you've got a new man
                    G
and baby I guess I understand
                    Dm
if loving me wasn't enough.

Dm                           Bb
But I won't be there when he finds you
                          G
alone in the dark and confines you
                          Dm
to live out your fears in love.


[Chorus]
Bb              F            Gm                         Dm
 I'm waking up drowning and you're the only person who knows.
Bb                     F               Gm                          G
 You tell them all you found me by the shore with mud inbetween my toes.
                            Bb               A            Dm
Yeah, he was just tryin' to see how deep the water really goes.

   And I know we can't be safe because you pushed me away
                     Bb   F
it's more than I can take.
A                                Bb                         G
 You run your fingers through my hair but darling don't you dare

pretend you care.
