Tom: Bb
Gm F Bb Eb
You don't answer your phone
Gm F Bb Eb
And I'd go 'round, but you're never home
Gm F Bb
I've been trying to reach ya
Eb
Though I've got nothing to teach ya
Gm F Bb Eb
I can't leave you on your own
[Verse 2]
Gm F Bb Eb
It's been some months since the breakup
Gm F Bb Eb
And you've been stuck in the dark
Gm F Bb
Then we have a new lover
Eb
Another person to smother
Gm F Bb Eb
Don't let it tear you apart
[Pre-Chorus}
Eb Gm Dm F
Your words might get lost in the thunder and rain
Ebadd9
Wish you could just say
[Chorus]
F Gm
That I could swim in your eyes
Eb Bb
And I can tread the tears you cry
F Gm
You could make it out alive
Eb Bb
Darlin', if you'd only try
Gm Dm
Don't slide down the spiral and thoughts in your head
Eb
I don't want you to lose your place
F Gm
In the game that we call life
Eb Bb
Darlin', if you'd only try
[Verse 2]
Gm F Bb Eb
When did we get so old?
Gm F Bb Eb
How could you wish you were younger?
Gm F Bb
The lives will go deeper
Eb
We struggle to heal ya
Gm F Bb Eb
But it's no reason to be colder
[Pre-Chorus}
Eb Gm Dm F
The love that I have for you might not explain
Ebadd9
The things that I wanna say
[Chorus]
F Gm
That I could swim in your eyes
Eb Bb
And I can tread the tears you cry
F Gm
You could make it out alive
Eb Bb
Darlin', if you'd only try
Gm Dm
Don't slide down the spiral and thoughts in your head
Eb
I don't want you to lose your place
F Gm
In the game that we call life
Eb Bb
Darlin', if you'd only try
[Bridge]
Dm Dm Eb
And all that time, I gave it back to you
F F Gm Eb Eb Bb Eb Bb
Help me to swim in your gaze so blue, your gaze so blue
[Chorus]
F Gm
That I could swim in your eyes
Eb Bb
And I can tread the tears you cry
F Gm
You could make it out alive
Eb Bb
Darlin', if you'd only try
Gm Dm
Don't slide down the spiral and thoughts in your head
Eb
I don't want you to lose your place
F Gm
In the game that we call life
Eb Bb
Darlin', if you'd only try
Eb Bb
Darlin', if you'd only try
Eb Bb
Darlin', if you'd only try
