[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
My arms are tired and weary
D A G
These wounds are on full display
D G D
I've tried every door in the hallway
Bm A G D
There's just nowhere that I feel safe
[Chorus]
D
I see the light but never find the surface
D A G
I don’t know if I can swim no more
D
White knuckles and wild horses
Bm A G D
One day we'll wash up on mercy’s shore
Bm A G D
One day we'll wash up on mercy’s shore
D

[Verse 2]
D
I'm lost in the waves that crush me
D A G
They bring discovery where darkness hides
Just over the ridge in front of you
Bm A G D
Another mountain that you'll have to climb
[Chorus]
D
I see the light but never find the surface
D A G
I don’t know if I can swim no more

[Bridge]
Bm A/C#
We're a child in the car asleep
D G
In the driveway at night
Bm A/C#
Our mother's gonna slowly sneak
D G
Our body inside
Bm A/C#
We can rest in the arms of trust
D G
There's no way that we can say
Bm A/C#
We've earned our way into light
D G Gsus4 G
All we have to do to is stay
[Chorus]
D
I see the light but never find the surface
D A G
I don’t know if I can swim no more
D
White knuckles and wild horses
Bm A G D
One day we'll wash up on mercy’s shore

One day we'll wash up on mercy’s shore

[Outro] --> See the Jooba Youtube Tutorial for these chords
Gm D
I've been battling a broken heart
Gm D
Everybody knows I'm torn apart
D E
Since I was eight years old and I thought that
Em D
God was a girl in my school
Gm D
If we can wind up on a sandy beach
Gm D
Breathin' air that only death can reach
G Gm
And singing songs that only heaven leaves
D E
It's okay with me
Gm D
And God is wanting us to make believe
Gm D
But knowing something is only a dream
G Gm
Like the absolutes and the in-between
D E Em
Are out of line, sometimes, intertwined, behind
D
A mind, in line, and fights that only fools are still trying to fight
