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


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

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


          A   C#m 
If you go?

And stop chasing, every breaking wave.. 


     F#m                                 A 
The sea knows where are the rocks, and drowning is no sin. 
  E                              B 
You know where my heart is, the same place that yours has been. 
 F#m                              A                     E 
We know that we fear to win, and so we end before we begin, 
             B 
before we begin..
