[Intro]
E
Why are you holding on
B
To what you know is gone?
     F#                      E
You know it wasn't meant to be

[Verse 1]
E
Both knees are on the floor
B
You reach out your hands for more
             F#                                       E
Like the shoreline trying its best to hold on to the sea


[Chorus]
E                                   B
People are water, they need to be free
                                             F#
They need to explore more where they want to be
                                 E
We cannot be keepers of anyone's key
                                         E
We have to love in a way that sets them free
                                           B
And darling, believe me, there will come a time
                                              F#
When the earth will shake and the stars will align
                                         E
And you won't have to beg for anyone's time
                                         E
So trust and believe everything will be fine

             B            F#
People are water, let' em be
                          E
Let it breathe, let it leave

[Verse 2]
E
What are you crying for?
B
You know the world is yours
F#                             E
And what is meant for you will be
E
So loosen up your grasp
B
Everything's not meant to last
            F#                                   E
Let the rising tide withdraw and go back to the sea

[Chorus]

'Cause you see
E                                   B
People are water, they need to be free
                                             F#
They need to explore more where they want to be
                                 E
We cannot be keepers of anyone's key
                                           E
We have to love in a way that sets them free
                                              B
And darling, believe me, there will come a time
                                              F#
When the earth will shake and the stars will align
                                         E
And you won't have to beg for anyone's time
                                         E
So trust and believe everything will be fine

             B            F#
People are water, let' em be
                          E
Let it breathe, let it leave

             B            F#
People are water, let' em be
                          E
Let it breathe, let it leave

[Chorus]
E                                   B
People are water, they need to be free
                                             F#
They need to explore more where they want to be
                                 E
We cannot be keepers of anyone's key
                                           E
We have to love in a way that sets them free
                                              B
And darling, believe me, there will come a time
                                              F#
When the earth will shake and the stars will align
                                         E
And you won't have to beg for anyone's time
                                         E
So trust and believe everything will be fine
