[VERSE 1:]
            C   D                 G
If I had my way, I would say it's over, darling 
              C     D                G
If I could be brave, I would say I'm leaving you 
                D               G     C
But I must stay on 'til hope is gone 
              G     C
'Cause girl I know 
             G                  D             G
Anywhere you go you'll still be needing me


[VERSE 2:]
                C    D                G
If you find you can't make it on your own, my darling
                C   D                    G
I'll be on your side when you can't find anyone 
                  D                G     C
But for now let's try, just to get by
                  G    C
Let the tide roll out
                  G                D              D7
Let the tide roll in, it's time to sink or swim


[CHORUS:]
G           C  D            C  ~   ~ G
La la la la la, la la la la la la la la 
            C  D            C  ~   ~ G
La la la la la, la la la la la la la la 


[VERSE 3:]
              C      D              G
If I could be strong, I'd be gone tomorrow morning 
                  C    D              G
Still, I play the part, making like a broken toy 
                D               G      C
But I must stay on 'til hope is gone 
               G      C
'Cause girl, I know
             G                   D            C
Anywhere you go, you'll still be needing me 
                  G     C
Let the tide roll out
             G                     D             D7
Let the tide roll in, it's time to sink or swim
