Colin Hay - Against The Tide Chords

Tuning: Standard


Dm                             Am
The lines are broken between she and I
     Bb                                                    Gm
But the road is as straight as an arrow
F                                                         Am
We had walked in a beautiful forest
                                  Bb 
But after a while the trees grew thin
                                 Gm
And offered little shade
Dm                            Am                                                     Bb   Gm
Now more than ever our lives move of their own volition

F
I sleep walk in the night

I don't wanna, I don't wanna

Dm
I let the day decide

I'm searching for, I'm searching for

F
I swim against the tide

I only wanna,  I only wanna

Dm
Get to the other side

You can always find me

Bb                     C
Waiting for the right time
              
      Bb                          C
But I can't wait till the end

Dm  Am             Bb    Gm
You moved out of reach

F           Am       Bb    Gm
Slipped out of my hands

Dm  Am      Bb     Gm     C
I live in my dreams

                       Bb                    F
I have of you still holding me



The lines are broken between she and I
But the road is as straight as an arrow
We had walked in a beautiful forest
But after a while the trees grew thin
And offered little shade
Now more than ever our lives move of their own volition


I'm drifting out to sea
Someone's watching over me
So I won't drown
Moving closer ever closer
Your love is like the rain

Saturating
The tide is coming in
Carrying me
And though the lines are down
I'm still holding
But I, I can no longer pretend

You moved out of reach
Slipped out of my hands
I live in my dreams
I have of you still holding me

Carrying me
Saturating
