[Verse 1]
N.C.               A              C#m
You hit me like a riptide, yeah
B                   F#m                          A              C#m
But I never noticed cuz you always kept it under disguise, yeah
B                     F#m                        A
Lifted up the curtain let me see what was on the inside, yeah
C#m                 B
All of the lies and deceit
F#m                      A
An ugly mess you created in me
C#m                               B
Something that you knew I could never clean
F#m                    A
I’ll handle it someday


[Chorus]
   C#m                    B
So hit me with a riptide
   F#m                              A
If that’s the way you wanna say goodbye
   C#m                     B
My Anger’s been on standby
   F#m                        A
So hit me with, hit me with a riptide

[Verse 2]
    A              C#m
But hey, it was an honest mistake
      B
We’ll go our separate ways
F#m                          A
We don’t need to dig our own gravestones
C#m                            B
Push each other out till we’re alone
F#m                            A
These fights are taking on the same tone
C#m                B
Oh it’s worse if I stay
F#m                     A
Cuz you changed my personality
C#m                        B        
I’ll close the door behind me, 
F#m      A
I oh I


[Chorus]
   C#m                    B
So hit me with a riptide
   F#m                              A
If that’s the way you wanna say goodbye
   C#m                     B
My Anger’s been on standby
   F#m                        A
So hit me with, hit me with a riptide

[Bridge]
E                  F#m
And I have already moved on
                           E
To someone who won’t do me wrong
                            F#m
I hope that one day you can see
                         E
The villain you are with me
             F#m
Release your hold
                      E
And I’m the one in control
                    F#m
If the riptide comes today
C#m                           A
You're the only one that will wash away


[Chorus]
   C#m                    B
So hit me with a riptide
   F#m                              A
If that’s the way you wanna say goodbye
   C#m                     B
My Anger’s been on standby
   F#m                        A
So hit me with, hit me with a riptide
