[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
Ooh    oooh oooh oooh ooh

D             Bm
Ooh oooh oooh oooh
A      G   D/F#   D
  Ooh oooh oooh oooh


[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
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
Ooh    oooh oooh oooh ooh

D             Bm
Ooh oooh oooh oooh
A      G   D/F#   D
  Ooh oooh oooh oooh


[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
Bm              A           G      D
 One day we'll wash up on mercy’s shore
D            G         D
Ooh    oooh oooh oooh ooh

D             Bm
Ooh oooh oooh oooh
A      G   D/F#   D
  Ooh oooh oooh oooh


[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
