Intro: Em 
 
Verse 1:
 
Em 
 The water was getting higher and higher 
 
 My arms kept getting more and more tired 
Am 
 And the harder I would try, the further I would dive down 
Em 
 So I gave up and I finally let go 
 
 Stop trying to save myself and be my own hero 
Am 
 And when I opened my eyes, that's when I realized 
 
 You were there the whole time 
 
 
 
            C   B 
 I've got a lifeline 
 Em              G 
 Waiting for me, ready to save 
 C   B 
 Lifeline 
 Em            G 
 This is gonna be my escape 
 C   B 
 Lifeline 
 Em           D      C B 
 Never giving up on me 
 
 You are my lifeline 
 
 
Verse 2:
 
Em 
 I thought that I was too far gone to be rescued 
 
 But it seems I underestimated You 
Am 
 It's nothing to You, it's too much for me 
 
 It's over my head, but it's under Your feet 
 
 
 
Bridge:
 
Em 
 Lifeline 
 
 I thought it was over 
 
 I thought I was through 
 
 Then I saw You and I knew 
  C             B        
 (This is gonna be my escape) 
Em 
 Lifeline 
 
 I thought it was over 
 
 I thought I was through 
 
 Then I saw You and I knew 
  C             D 
 (This is gonna be my escape) 
 
 
Chorus (2x) (Speed Back Up) 
 
 
Ending:  Em
