F
Why are you holding on
Am
To what you know is gone?
     G                       F
You know it wasn't meant to be

[Verse 1]
F
Both knees are on the floor
Am
You reach out your hands for more
             G                                       F
Like the shoreline trying its best to hold on to the sea


[Chorus]
F                                   C
People are water, they need to be free
                                             G
They need to explore more where they want to be
                                 F
We cannot be keepers of anyone's key
                                         C
We have to love in a way that sets them free
                                           C
And darling, believe me, there will come a time
                                              G
When the earth will shake and the stars will align
                                         F
And you won't have to beg for anyone's time
                                         Am
So trust and believe everything will be fine

C                         G
People are water, let' em be
                          F
Let it breathe, let it leave

[Verse 2]
F
What are you crying for?
Am
You know the world is yours
             G                F
And what is meant for you will be
F
So loosen up your grasp
Am
Everything's not meant to last
                        G                        F
Let the rising tide withdraw and go back to the sea

[Chorus]

'Cause you see
F                                   C
People are water, they need to be free
                                             G
They need to explore more where they want to be
                                 F
We cannot be keepers of anyone's key
                                         C
We have to love in a way that sets them free
                                           C
And darling, believe me, there will come a time
                                              G
When the earth will shake and the stars will align
                                         F
And you won't have to beg for anyone's time
                                         Am
So trust and believe everything will be fine

C                         G
People are water, let' em be
                          F
Let it breathe, let it leave

C                         G
People are water, let' em be
                          F
Let it breathe, let it leave

[Chorus]
F                                   C
People are water, they need to be free
                                             G
They need to explore more where they want to be
                                 F
We cannot be keepers of anyone's key
                                         C
We have to love in a way that sets them free
                                           C
And darling, believe me, there will come a time
                                              G
When the earth will shake and the stars will align
                                         F
And you won't have to beg for anyone's time
                                         Am
So trust and believe everything will be fine
