| B | E | |
| She says today is gonna be the | last one |
| B | E | |
| I know there's never gonna be an | easy way out |
| B | E | |
| She's rolling round the town with a | fast gun |
| B | E | |
| And I know I can't be there to | catch her when she falls |
| F# | E | |
| Well | half way down is half way out of | here |
| F# | E | |
| We're either | halfway drowned or half way 'round the | pier |
| B | |
| When you're that far go | ne |
| E | B | E | |
| Whoooo | o, | Whooooooo | o |
| Verse 1: |
| B | |
| I walked the | steps to her apartment with the window by the shore |
| E | |
| And saw her | curled on the tile through a crack in the door |
| B | |
| I've been | searching for the words I don't know how to say |
| E | |
| I've been | searching for the words to make it go away |
| B | |
| I spent | all of last night and the night before that |
| E | |
| With my | feet in the sand and the wind on my back |
| B | |
| Watching a | ship sail out to a blue wide sea |
| E | |
| There | must be more than this with a kiss we can't see |
| Chorus: |
| F# | E | |
| Well | half way down is half way out of | here |
| F# | E | |
| We're | eihter half-way drowned or half way round the | pier |
| B | |
| I can't break her, I can't break her fall |
| E | |
| She's lying in the back room, crying on the bathroom floor |
| Abm | |
| Singing | I can't take it, I can't take any more |
| E | |
| Just one reason, one to believe in |
| B | E | |
| That's not that far | gone, whooo | oo |
| B | E | |
| Not that far | gone, whooo | oo |
| verse2: (repeat B, E progression) |
| I held the back of her head and laid her in the bed |
| And watched the sheets raise and fall to the rhythm of her breath |
| Turn the lock on the handle and slipped down the stairs |
| To the cover of the night with diamonds in the air |
| I'll say a prayer in my breath and take a left at the water |
| To the rhythm of my feet a sister and a daughter |
| To the rhythm of the sea with the breeze in the autumn |
| As it blows through the trees my hands into the water |
| Repeat Chorus |
| Abm | |
| I can't break her, I can't break her fall |
| E | |
| She's lying in the back room, crying on the bathroom floor |
| Abm | E | |
| And I can't take it, I can't take any | more |
| B | E | |
| She says today is gonna be the | last time |
| B | E | |
| And I know there's never gonna be an | easy way out |
