[Intro 1]
[G][Bm][G][Bm]
[G][Bm][G][Em]
[Bm]

[Verse 1]
We built a castle in [G]the sand
And drew our [Em]names in
[Asus4]to the si[A]de[Bm]
And when the sea came up [G]we ran
And saw it [Em]melt in[Asus4]to the tide.
[Bm]

[Verse 2]
[D]Let [Dsus4]it go.[D]
Stop swimming against [Bm]the flow
[G]The Under[Em]tow is pulling.

[Interlude 1]
[Bm]

[Verse 3]
There's nothing holding back [G]the changes
And the [Em]years have come and [Bm]gone
They say there's light
around the [G]edges
When the [Em]shadows take the sun.
[Bm]

[Verse 4]
[Dsus4]Let it go[D].
Stop swimming against [Bm]the flow
[Em][G][Em][G]
The Under[Em]tow is pulling.

[Interlude 2]
[Bm]
[D]
[Dsus4][D][Bm][A][D][A]
[G][Em][Bm]

[Verse 5]
The [Bm]lightning flickers through the gloom
The [G]bloodied hands, the crowded room
The [Em]quickening. The ocean
bloom [Bm]alight[F#]s.

[Verse 6]
I [Bm]kick and punch but nothing lands
I'm [G]tearing at the second hand
But [Em]time accelerates
and bounds [Bm]away.[F#]

[Verse 7]
And [Bm]all we choose to undertake
And [G]all that's true and all that's fake
And [Em]all the days, the life we make
And [Bm]all we stacked again[F#]st our fate
And [Bm]all that's left of life to live
And [G]everything we ever did
The [Em]song we sang when we were
[A]kids - I'm still singing it.

[Verse 8]
[Dsus4]Let it go[D].
Stop swim[F#m]ming against t[Bm]he flow[A][D]
The [G]Under[Em]tow is pulling.
[Bm]

[Interlude 3]
[A][D][Bm]
[F#m][D]
[Bm]Deep somewhere

[Verse 9]
a clock's
a- ticking [F#m]away o[D]h oh oh
[Bm]Rumble shake the ground a- ripple [A]and [D]sway
[A]Is thi[Bm]s thing speeding up?
I'm showing [A]my [D]age
Oh, get me off.
[F#m][Em][A]

[Verse 10]
[Bm]Take these instruments they're
just in [A]the [D]way oh oh oh
[Bm]Take these words away
they're slowing [F#m]me dow[D]n
[F#m]The days g[Bm]row dim,
my light's a- flick[A]ering [D]out
I'm burning [A]low.

[Interlude 4]
[A][D]
[A][D][A]

[Verse 11]
[Bm]Ambition set the bar too high
and [A]I'm [D]flying under
[Bm]Needle on the dial a- pinning [A]the [D]red
[A]Tai[Bm]l wind pulls you into riding The[A] Und[D]ertow ins[F#m]tead.[Bm]
