1. Turn the lights out, in the light house, I saw you coming, 
   Am
   Felt the ship wreck saw the wreckage, I heard you yelling,
   F 
   Just a mess when I saw your reflection in the sand,
   C 
   Wondering where you were washed up, or I ran to the water, Mmmmm,
   F 
   I can put my hands down in it,
   C 
   But I won't bring nothing up,
   Am                            
   Sitting on the shore all day, 
   G
   waiting on the tide to come 

            C                  Am
R: But you can't hold on to water
                              G 
   It fills you up but never stays
                          F 
   It's only good to wash away today 
            C                Am
   and your loving me like water
                                   G 
   Your slippin' through my fingers such
                     F 
   A natural disaster love
                  C              Am 
   Bringing on the flood, the flood
                  G             F 
   Love me like a flood, a flood 
   Bring it on 
                             
2. Stay tonight out, by the beach house, it's all so quiet
   Lit a candle candle, by the window, so you might find it
   Hope you know you'll always have a place to call your home 
   Still, I can't help but think, I could have saved you from drowning, ohhh, oh, 
   I can put my hands down in it, yeah,
   But I won't bring nothing up,
   Sitting on the shore all day
   Just waiting on the tide to come, 

R: But you can't hold on to water...

   F                           Am
*: I knew the waves were icy, when I felt them all retreating,
   F 
   Went to take a dive in the deep end,
   G 
   Woah, what was I thinking? 

R: But you can't hold on to water...
