[Verse 1]
[C#m]Counting days, counting days
Since my love up and got [A]lost on [E]me
[C#m]And every breath that I’ve been taking
Since you [B]left feels like a [A]waste on [E]me
[C#m]I’ve been holding on to hope
That you’ll come [G#m]back when you can
[A]find some [E]peace
[C#m]Cause every word that I’ve heard spoken
Since you [B]left feels like a h[A]ollow s[E]treet
[Pre-Chorus]
[A]I’ve been told, I’ve been told to get you
off my mind[C#m]
But I hope I never lose the [B]bruises
that you left behind [A]
Oh my lord, oh my lord, I need you by my [C#m]side [G#m]
[Chorus]
There must be something in the [A]wat[C#m]er
Cause every day it’s getting [G#m]colde[A]r
And if only I could [B]hold [C#m]you
You’d keep my head from going [G#m]unde[A]r
[Verse 2]
[C#m]Maybe I, maybe I’m just being [B]blinded
By the [A]brighter [E]side
[C#m]Of what we had because it’s over
Well, there [B]must be something [A]in the [E]tide
[Pre-Chorus]
[A]I’ve been told, I’ve been told to get you
off my mind [C#m]
But I hope I never lose the [B]bruises
that you left behind[A]
Oh my lord, oh my lord, I need you by my [C#m]side [G#m]
[Chorus]
There must be something in the [A]wat[C#m]er
Cause every day it’s getting [G#m]colde[A]r
And if only I could [B]hold [C#m]you
You’d keep my head from going [G#m]unde[A]r
[Bridge]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-[A]ooh-[C#m]ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-[G#m]ooh-[A]ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-[B]ooh-[C#m]ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-[G#m]ooh-[A]ooh
[F#m]It’s your love I’m lost in
[E]Your love I’m lost in [C#m]Your love I’m lost in
[B]And I’m tired of being so exhausted
[F#m]Your love I’m lost in [E]Your love I’m lost in
[C#m]Your love I’m lost in
[B]Even though I’m nothing to you [B]now [C#m]
Even though I’m nothing to you [G#m]now[A]
[Chorus]
There must be something in the [A]wat[C#m]er
Cause every day it’s getting [G#m]colde[A]r
And if only I could [B]hold [C#m]you
You’d keep my head from going [G#m]unde[A]r
There must be something in the [A]wat[C#m]er
And if only I could [B]hold [C#m]you
You’d keep my head from going [G#m]unde[A]r
