D                F
What used to be a house of cards
D               F
Has turned into a reservoir
A
Save the tears that were waterfalling
A
Let's go swim tonight, darling

D                   F
And once outside the undertown
D                    F
Just you and me, and nothing more
A
If not for love, I would be drowning
A
I've seen it work both ways

    G        D                      A
But I am up riding high amongst the waves
                     G
Where I can feel like I
       D                  A
Have a soul that has been saved
                      G
Where I can feel like I've
     D            A
Put away my early grave

              C
I gotta say it now
       G            D
Better loud than too late

( D  F )

D                  F
Remember back, the early days
D                        F
When you were young, and less amazed
D              F
Suddenly the channel changed
D                  F
The first time you saw blood

D             F
Cut to later, now you're strong
D                     F
You've bled yourself, the wounds are gone
D                       F
It's rare when there is nothing wrong
A
Survived and you're amongst the fittest
A
Love ain't love until you feel it

G         D               A
Up riding high amongst the waves
               G
I can feel like I
       D                 A
Have a soul that has been saved
              G
I can see the light
       D                 A
Coming through the clouds in rays

               C
I gotta say it now
      G             D
Better loud than too late
               C
I gotta say it now
      G             D
Better loud than too late
Hey...yeah...

( A  G  D  A )

       D               A
Riding high amongst the waves
               G
I can feel like I
       D                 A
Have a soul that has been saved
               G
I can see the light
       D                 A
Coming through the clouds in rays

              C
I gotta say it now
       G           D           A
Better loud than too late
              C
I gotta say it now
       G           D           A
Better loud than too late
       C
Say it now
      G            D
Better loud than too late
