[Intro 1]
[G]
[Em][D][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Take, take[D] it all away
[C]Save my heart for[G] another day
[Em]I'm up late on t[D]he telephone
And I'm [C]all alone [G]with the dial tone
[Em]Wait, wait 'till[D] the sun is up
[C]Drown my dreams in [G]a coffee cup
[Em]Palms out, wanna[D] beg for luck
But I'm [C]way too proud, [G]never giving up

[Pre-chorus 1]
[Em]Oh, [D]some[C]thing's gotta happ[G]en
[Em]Something's gotta [D]give
and something's [C]got to [G]break
I [Em]know, [D]someday[C] it's gonna hap[G]pen
Some[Em]day it's gonna g[D]ive,
can't always [C]be this [G]way

[Chorus 1]
And if the [Em]riptide comes [D]to get me
And pulls me [C]under, it won't [G]upset me,
I'll go [Em]down (oh oh [D]oh oh oh)
[C](Oh oh oh [G]oh oh)
I'll throw the [Em]white flag of [D]surrender
Knock me [C]down, not [G]forever,
just for [Em]now (oh oh [D]oh oh oh)
[C](Oh oh oh [G]oh oh)

[Verse 2]
[Em]Give, give every[D]thing I've got
[C]Out of reach but[G] I'll take a shot
[Em]Kick rocks in th[D]e parking lot
Feel like [C]giving up, [G]but I'll never stop
[Em]Run, run, runn[D]ing like a fool
[C]Never win if [G]you never lose
And [Em]find hope [D]and a little truth
Gonna [C]learn new tricks,
[G]gotta jump through hoops

[Pre-chorus 2]
[Em]Oh, [D]some[C]thing's gotta happ[G]en
[Em]Something's gotta [D]give
and something's [C]got to [G]break
I [Em]know, [D]someday[C] it's gonna hap[G]pen
Some[Em]day it's gonna g[D]ive,
can't always [C]be this [G]way

[Chorus 2]
And if the [Em]riptide comes [D]to get me
And pulls me [C]under, it won't [G]upset me,
I'll go [Em]down (oh oh [D]oh oh oh)
[C](Oh oh oh [G]oh oh)
I'll throw the [Em]white flag of [D]surrender
Knock me [C]down, not [G]forever,

Not for[Em]ever, just [D]for now
Not for[C]ever, just [G]for now
Not for[Em]ever, not [D]forever
Not for[C]ever, won't [G]stay down

Not for[C]ever, just [G]for now
Not for[Em]ever, not [D]forever
Not for[C]ever, won't [G]stay down

[Chorus 3]
And if the riptide comes to get me
And pulls me [C]under, it won't [G]upset me,
I'll go [Em]down (oh oh [D]oh oh oh)
[C](Oh oh oh [G]oh oh)
I'll throw the [Em]white flag of [D]surrender
Knock me [C]down, not [G]forever,
just for [Em]now (oh oh [D]oh oh oh)
[C](Oh oh oh [G]oh oh)

I'll go [Em]down (oh oh [D]oh oh oh)
[C](Oh oh oh [G]oh oh)
I'll throw the [Em]white flag of [D]surrender
