[Intro]
G6

[Verse 1]
Am Em G6
You took me shoreside
Am
I felt every grain of the sand pierce my feet
Em G6
You told me it’s alright
Em Am
Said there’s nothing in this world that you would let hurt me
Em G6
But from the blind side
Am
Single wave crept in late and took everything from me
Em G6 Em
Now I’m fked

[Interlude]
G6

[Verse 2]
Am Em G6
You trapped me inside
Em Am
The high current, the high current all over
Em G6
You told me “please don’t cry”
Em Am
Nothing else to do except wait ’til I’m older
Em G6
But from the blind side
Em Am
Single wave of regret came and made me feel colder
Em G6 Em
Now I’m fked
