(verse) C/G Em Am7 Em How tides control the sea and what becomes of me Fmaj7 Dm Am7 Am7 How little things can slip out of your hand C/G Em Am7 Em How often people change no two remain the same Fmaj7 Dm Am7 Am7 Why things don't always turn out as you planned Fmaj7 Dm Am7 Am7 These are things that i don't understand Fmaj7 Dm Am7 Am7 Yeah these are things that i don't understand
(Chorus 1) Dm Em I can't (and i can't) decide Am Fmaj7 Wrong (oh my wrong) from right Dm Em Day (oh my day) from night Am Fmaj7 Dark (oh my dark) from light Dm Em Am7 Em I love (but i love) this life
