Verse 1:
F5            C5
 Flood gates, can't wait
D5
 Here she comes, shut'em fast
Bb5
 Better shut'em fast
F5         C5
 Too late, swept away
D5             Bb5
 Feel the rush after the fact


Pre-chorus:
Eb5           Bb5
 Coming up beneath me
C5                     Ab5
 Never been in love so deeply before


Chorus:
G5                 D5
 I am close to the waterline
E5                               C5
 I thought that I'd been over my head

For the last time
G5                   D5
 I'm so close to the waterline
E5
 And the way i'm loving her now
C5
 I know this is bound to go down as the big one


Verse 2:
F5              C5
 Whistle blast, lights flash
D5
 Throw a rope, grab a hold
Bb5
Feel the undertow
F5           C5
 She laughs, waves crash
D5                Bb5
 What's the use I can't let her go

 Coming up beneath me
C5                     Ab5
 Never been in love so deeply before

 I am close to the waterline
E5                               C5
 I thought that I'd been over my head

For the last time
G5                   D5
 I'm so close to the waterline
E5
 And the way i'm loving her now

 I know this is bound to go down as the big one
