vocals)

NEAREST DISTANT SHORE

You (D)fight for every (G)breath
Caught (D)without a ship in this (A7)sea of neglect
The (D)one you swore to (G)love is pulling you (D)down
You're in over your (G)head
(D)Chilled to the bone by the (A7)waters you tread
(D)Chart a course to (G)land before you (D)drown

cho:
Swim to the (G)nearest distant (A7)shore
There's only so (D)much your heart can (G)endure
You gave it your (A7)best forgive yourself
You can't hold on (D)anymore
It's not as (G)far as it might (A7)seem
Now it's time to (D)let go of old (G)dreams
Every heart for (A7)itself
Swim to the nearest distant (D)shore

(D)He said for you he'd (G)change
The (D)he let you down and watched (A7)you take the blame
You're (D)trapped between his (G)lies and the great (D)unknown
You vowed you would not (G)fail
But (D)this ain't success it's a (A7)living hell
There's (D)nothing left to (G)lose
You're already (D)alone
Repeat cho:
Ending:  Every heart for (A7)itself swim to the nearest distant (D)shore(G)
(D)
