Verse 1
Em 
Cadd9 
For the shore as the night is slipping
Em7 
D 
through my hands
Cadd9 
I fall into the sea like the empire
Em7 
D 
built on the sand
Cadd9 
I've been thinking 'bout the days
G 
when we had no money
Em7 
That photograph of you,
D 
well it still seems funny
Cadd9 
Em7 
D 
Gotta    get back to the promised land

Chorus 1
Cadd9 
So don't walk away love
G 
There's never enough
Em7 
that could make me crash
D 
on the broken glass
Cadd9 
G 
Let the storm rage, I'd die on the waves
Em7 
But I will not rest
D 
Cadd9 
while love lies dead in the water
Em7 
D 
Dead in the water
Cadd9 
In the water
Em7 
D 
Dead in the water

Cadd9 
G 
I'm waiting for the calm as the storm
Em7 
D 
is getting under my skin
Cadd9 
G 
I'm trying to fix the hole in my head
Em7 
D 
where the rain gets in
Cadd9 
It's dripping in my ear,
G 
and it don't sound funny
Em7 
I'm gonna take you out
D 
when I get some money
Cadd9 
We're trying   to get it back
Em7 
D 
to the promised land

Chorus 2
Cadd9 
So don't walk away love
G 
There's never enough
Em7 
that could make me crash
D 
on the broken glass
Cadd9 
G 
Let the storm rage, I'd die on the waves
Em7 
But I will not rest
D 
Cadd9 
while love lies dead in the water
Em7 
D 
Dead in the water
Cadd9 
In the water
Em7 
D 
Dead in the water
