[Verse 1]
C              G
Seems I get in my own way
    B7
The more I think,
     Em
the less I say
C           G
I hope I communicate
     Bm
the craving
Am
Now I see intentions
            C
don't mean much

[Chorus]
Em               C
Say enough, say enough
      G
Did I let her know,
let her know
Bm   Em       C
If I found my body
    G
in chains
    B7           Em
I'd lay down and wait
    C
And hope she looks
     G  B7 Em
 for me
    C                  D
And hope she looks for me

C                 G
She just wants to catch
a wave
B7                 Em
Ride it off to the end
 of the days
  C               G
I hope that I can satiate

 the craving

Now I see the gesture

 let her know

If I found my body

 I take away

Am
Now I see intentions
            C
