Intro: C G (4x) 
 
verse 1: 
       Em      G                           C 
Sit me down, I know I haven't been by your side 
    Em                D 
I'm dragging my feet, lost my stride 
Am                 C        G              D 
I've been painting pictures in my head and falling short 
Am        C          G        D 
Losing my direction, turn me around 
 
 
 
C              G 
I've been just coasting 
   C           G 
My mind put to motion 
   C             G 
We move like the ocean 
    Am  C   Am         Am   C       G      D 
But I can't swim....Anymore-ore-ore

verse 2:
 
        Em 
Wake me up,  
   G                C            Am 
I fell in love in a dream, but I can't remember your face 
Am            C           G              D 
Take me for a test drive, chew me up and spit me out 
Am                C          G     D 
I don't need your pat on the back, no 
 
 
 
C              G 
I've been just coasting 
   C           G 
My mind put to motion 
   C             G 
We move like the ocean 
    Am  C    Am          Am     C     G    D 
But I can't swim...anymore
