VERSES
 
            Bm                  G        D
I'd like to find the fucker who left us afloat
Bm                     A
Who pushed us over and took in the boat?
Bm                    D          G
Soup of humans, we're all eating waves
G        Bm            A         D
everyone struggles and no one is saved
 
Bm                        G        D
It makes me thirsty, this salt I'm drinking
   Bm                     A
my head is bursting but I won't stop thinking
Bm          D          G
All I've got is what I know
  G           Bm           A     D
I will not be food for the beast below
 
 
CHORUS
 
A
   Gravity
G          D
   Love is under me
Bm               G        D
   Endless water, endless water
A
   Gravity
G          D
   Love is under me

   Endless water, endless water
 
 
VERSES
 
Bm        G     D
This body won't drop
Bm                A
love is a plank I won't walk off
Bm          D            G
Look below, where is the joy?
G             Bm            A       D
If you go too deep, it's an endless void
 
    Bm           G           D
But my weight is too much to hold
Bm          A
my arms are ready to fold
Bm               G            D
Just beneath me, stillness is there
     G          Bm        A        D
as I thrash the water and gasp for air
 
 
CHORUS

   Endless water, endless water

G
   Love is under me
 
 
   G      Bm A         D
So why am I  thrashing around?
        D                    G
There's nothing to fear, I'm ready to drown
