Intro: Em * D  Em * D  C  D

Verse:
        Em *                D
I believe right now if I could
                     Em * D
I would swallow you whole
          Em *                D
I would leave only bones and teeth
             Em *           D
We could see what was underneath
                Cadd9
And you would be free then

  Em *                D                  Em *          D
Once I thought only tears could make us free
  Em *                   D
Salt wearing down to the bone
       Em *              D
Like sand against the stone
              Cadd9
Against the shoreline

Chorus (strum):
       Em7          D
I am friend to the undertow
          Em7         D
I take you in, I don't let go
          Cadd9
And now I have you
Em *  D Em *    D
Ooh
    
Verse:
     Em *                D  
I wanted to learn all the secrets
                    Em *   D
From the edge of a knife
           Em *                D
From the point of a needle, from a diamond
                  Em *      D
From a bullet in flight
           Cadd9
I would be free then

Chorus:
       Em7          D
I am friend to the undertow
          Em7         D
I take you in, I don't let go
          Cadd9
And now I have you
       Em7          D
I am friend to the undertow
          Em7         D
I take you in, I don't let go
          Cadd9
And now I have you
            
Verse:
            Em *      D                    Em *      D
I wanted to see how it would feel to be that sleek
      Em *                  D            Em *      D
And instead I find this hunger's made me weak

        C                 D
I believe right now if I could
                     Em * D
I would swallow you whole
          Em *                D
I would leave only bones and teeth
             Em *           D
We could see what was underneath
                Cadd9
And you would be free then

Chorus:
       Em7          D
I am friend to the undertow
          Em7         D
I take you in, I don't let go
          Cadd9
And now I have you
       Em7          D
I am friend to the undertow
          Em7         D
I take you in, I don't let go
          Cadd9
And now I have you
Em *  D Em *    D
Ooh
