Verse 1:
E5 A5
Such a shame, what became of your broken heart
C#5 B5
To this day it remains hanging in the dark

I''''m afraid and ashamed of the things she said
C#5 B5
Never been so alive never felt more dead
Pre-chorus:
E5 B5
And these days, all this pain, but the water''''s red (?)
C#5 A5
I entertain these insane visions in my head
E5 B5
I fell in love just above all the paper trails (?)
C#5 A5 B5
While the boat swims in circles and I sink in sales (?)
Chorus:
B5 E5
S.O.S. please rescue me
A5 B5
You''''re out of breath, I''''m out of steam
E5
I hold you safely in my heart (?)

Our love has torn this ship apart

Please rescue me

Now I swim with the fishes and sink with you
