[Verse 1]

                C            Em
Every breaking wave on the shore,
           G                        D
tells the next one there’ll be one more.
                    C            Em
And every gambler knows that to lose,
     G                       D
is what you’re really there for.
              C        Em
Summer I was fearless,
        G                    D
now I speak into an answer phone.
                  C             Em
Like every falling leaf on the breeze,
 G                         D      D
winter wouldn’t leave it alone, alone.


[Chorus]

           C   Em
If you go?
           G                 D
If you go your way and I go mine.
           C  Em
Are we so?
           G                    D
Are we so helpless against the tide?
            C                Em
Baby every dog on the street,
                     G            D
knows that we’re in love with defeat.
                     C                 Em
Are we ready to be swept off our feet?
           G      D               C     Em  G  D
And stop chasing, every breaking wave..


[Verse 2]

               C             Em
Every sailor knows that the sea,
        G              D
is a friend made enemy.
                       C                  Em
And every shipwrecked soul, knows what it is,
    G                  D
to live without intimacy.
                       C               Em
I thought I heard the captain’s voice,
              G                 D
it’s hard to listen while you preach.
                   C            Em
Like every broken wave on the shore, 
  G                       D       D
this is as far as I could reach..


[Chorus]

          C   Em
If you go?
           G                 D
If you go your way and I go mine.
           C  Em
Are we so?
           G                    D
Are we so helpless against the tide?


[Verse 3]

            C                Em
Baby every dog on the street,
                     G            D
knows that we’re in love with defeat.
                     C                 Em
Are we ready to be swept off our feet?
           G      D               C     Em  G  D
And stop chasing, every breaking wave..

     C                                   Em
The sea knows where are the rocks, and drowning is no sin.
  G                              D
You know where my heart is, the same place that yours has been.
 C                                Em                   G
We know that we fear to win, and so we end before we begin,
             D
before we begin..

[Chorus]

          C   Em
If you go?
           G                 D
If you go your way and I go mine.
           C  Em
Are we so?
           G                    D
Are we so helpless against the tide?
            C                Em
Baby every dog on the street,
                     G            D
knows that we’re in love with defeat..
                     C                 Em
Are we ready to be swept off our feet?
           G      D             | C   | Em | G | D Am |
And stop chasing, every breaking wave..
