[Verse 1]
        G#m
Did you ever picture life like this
     E
No shooting star to grant your wish
        C#m
Are you everything you hoped you'd be
    D#
Or caught somewhere in between
      G#m
You dropped your nickel down a wishing well
       E
And prayed for luck to cast its spell
     C#m
To bring you closer to your dreams
      D#
That always seem just out of reach


[Pre-Chorus]
      E
You pray to God the moment when
     C#m                         D#
You feel the current pull you in


[Chorus]
                  B
Try to keep your head above water
      G#m
Has never been harder
       C#m
Even when it feels hopeless
    E    F#
You're gonna get through this
  B                    G#m
Head above water, gotta fight from going under
       C#m                     E
Even when it feels useless to wish
  F#                            G#m  F#
You're gonna get through this

G#m


[Verse 2] (like 1st)

Have you ever felt like giving in
Tried for hours but just can't win
Tell yourself you're not good enough
The struggle alone is just too much
No one's there to hear you scream
You gasp for air but cannot breathe
Did you ever think you'd see the day
When you'd watch your life get washed away


[Pre-Chorus]
      E
You pray to God the moment when
     C#m                         D#
You feel the current pull you in


[Chorus]
                  B
Try to keep your head above water
      G#m
Has never been harder
       C#m
Even when it feels hopeless
    E    F#
You're gonna get through this
  B                    G#m
Head above water, gotta fight from going under
       C#m                     E
Even when it feels useless to wish
  F#                            G#m  F#
You're gonna get through this

G#m


[Solo]
G#m E C#m D#


[Bridge]
G#m
  Did it ever hurt so bad
           E
That the thought of feeling lost would never end
     C#m              F#
Well you will think again


[Chorus]
G#m                E
Head above water, never been harder
C#m                                   D#
Tryin' to keep your head above water has never been harder
                          F# G#m E C#m
You're gonna get through this
                          F# G#m E C#m
You're gonna get through this

F#
