F  Am  C/G  G   
F  Am  C/G  G   


[Verse]

               F           Am
Every breaking wave on the shore
          C/G                      G
Tells the next one there’ll be one more
                  F             Am
And every gambler knows that to lose
   C/G                       G
Is what you’re really there for

              F      Am
Summer I was fearless
       C/G                   G
Now I speak into an answer phone
                    F          Am
Like every falling leaf on the breeze
 C/G                      G      G7  
Winter wouldn’t leave it alone - alone


[Chorus]

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

F   Am  C/G  G


[Verse]

             F               Am
Every sailor knows that the sea
      C/G           G
Is a friend made enemy
                      F                  Am
And every shipwrecked soul knows what it is
   C/G                G
To live without intimacy

                      F           Am
I thought I heard the captain’s voice
             C/G             G
It’s hard to listen while you preach
                  F             Am
Like every broken wave on the shore 
C/G                         G      
This is as far as I could reach


[Chorus]

          F   Am
If you go
          C/G               G
If you go your way and I go mine
           F  Am
Are we so
          C/G                  G
Are we so helpless against the tide

            F                Am
Baby every dog on the street
                    C/G         G
knows that we’re in love with defeat
                   F             Am
Are we ready to be swept off our feet
         C/G      G             
And stop chasing every breaking wave

F   Am  C/G  G


[Bridge]

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


F  Am  C/G  G


[Chorus]

         F   Am
If you go
          C/G               G
If you go your way and I go mine
          F  Am
Are we so
          C/G                  G
Are we so helpless against the tide

           F          Am
Baby every dog on the street
                    C/G        G
Knows that we’re in love with defeat
                   F             Am
Are we ready to be swept off our feet
          C/G    G             
And stop chasing every breaking wave

F  Am C G 

F  Am C G ……F
