GD
Take take it all away,
EmC
Save my heart for another day.
GD
I'm up late on the telephone
EmC
And I'm all alone with the dial tone.
GD
Wait wait 'till the sun is up,
EmC
Drown my dreams in a coffee cup,
GD
Palms out, wanna beg for luck
EmC
But I'm way too proud, never giving up.
[Pre-Chorus]
GCD
Oh, something's gotta happen,
CDC
Something's gotta give and something's got to break.
EmCD
I know, someday it's gonna happen,
CDC
Someday it's gonna give, can't always be this way.
[Chorus]
GC
And if the riptide comes to get me,
EmDC
And pulls me under, it won't upset me, I'll go down
G
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
GC
I'll throw the white flag of surrender,
EmDC
Knock me down, not forever, just for now
D
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
[Verse 2]
GD
Give give everything I've got,
EmC
Out of reach but I'll take a shot,
GD
Kick rocks in the parking lot,
EmC
Feel like giving up, but I'll never stop.
GD
Run run, running like a fool,
EmC
Never win if you never lose,
GD
Find hope and a little truth,
EmC
Gonna learn new tricks, gotta jump through hoops.
[Pre-Chorus]
GCD
Oh, something's gotta happen,
CDC
Something's gotta give and something's got to break.
EmCD
I know, someday it's gonna happen,
CDC
Someday it's gonna give, can't always be this way.
[Chorus]
GC
And if the riptide comes to get me,
EmDC
And pulls me under, it won't upset me, I'll go down
G
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
GC
I'll throw the white flag of surrender,
EmDC
Knock me down, not forever, just for now
D
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
[Bridge]
GD
Not forever, just for now
EmC
Not forever, just for now
GDEm
Not forever, not forever, not forever
C
Won't stay down
[x2]
[Chorus]
GC
And if the riptide comes to get me,
EmDC
And pulls me under, it won't upset me, I'll go down
G
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
GC
I'll throw the white flag of surrender,
EmDC
Knock me down, not forever, just for now
D
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
[x2]
