Every breaking wave on the shore tells the next one there'll be one more
              G             Bm        D                        A
Every gambler knows when to lose it's what you're really there for
             G     Bm       D                     A
Someone else fears, mow I'm speaking to an answer phone
                  G           Bm     D                        A
Like every fallen leaf on the breeze winter wouldn't leave it alone, alone

         G Bm        D                 A
If you go, If you go your way and I go mine.
         G Bm        D                    A
Are we so, Are we so helpless against the time?
            G           Bm                       D           A
Baby, every doubt of history knows that we're in love with defeat.
                   G             Bm             D       A
Are we ready to be swept off our feet and start chasing every breaking wave?

G  Bm  D  A

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

         G Bm        D                 A
If you go, If you go your way and I go mine.
         G Bm        D                    A
Are we so, Are we so helpless against the time?

Are we ready to be swept off our feet and start chasing every breaking wave?

Em  G  D  A

    Em                                G
The sea knows where all the rocks are drowning is an ocean.
D                              A
You know where my heart is the same place that yours has been.
Em                                     G                     D
We know that we fear the wind And it's all we have before we begin.
          A
Before we begin.
