[Verse 1]
     Em            D            Em
I’ve been counting cracks in my ceiling tonight,
Em             D           Em
Feelin’ like a ghost in my own dim light,
C                       Am
Every you got that just fades away,
            D                       Am
When you’re running on fumes at the end of the day.


[Verse 2]
Em            D               Em
I’ve been the strong one, the shoulder, the stone,
         Em         D                 Em
But even rocks wear down when they’re always alone,
    C                 Am/C
And I keep smiling so no-one sees,
    D                        Am          Em    Em
The waters off high and it’s draggin’ my knee.


[Chorus 1]
             C
I’m drowning slow,
               G
And hope don’t float,
           D
And giving up,
                 Em
Is just down the road,
             C
I’m tired of praying,
                      G
For things that won’t stay,
                    D
Tryin’ to makin’ it through,
                       Em
Just to break the next day,
                    C
And if love was the lifeline,
             G
I missed the throw,
                    Am    Am*
‘Cause I’m drownin’ slow . . .,
               Em    Esus4  Em
And hope don’t float.


[Verse 3]
Em        D            Em
You come around like a warm spring rain,
    Em           D           Em
And leave like a drown and I feel it again,
    C                        C
You don’t owe me nothing and I know that’s true,
    D                            Am
The thought I’d give anything to mean more to you.


[Verse 4]
  Em         D           Em
I don’t mean much just a reason to stay,
     Em            D            Em
Some small kind of light at the end of the fray,
    C                   C
But I keep fallin’ with no one to catch,
    D                    Am          Em
And even my face’s got a tear in the light.


[Chorus 2]
                    C
‘Cause I’m drownin’ slow,
               G
And hope don’t float,
           D
And giving up,
                 Em
Is just down the road,
             C
I’m tired of beggin’,
              G
The sky for a break,
                 D
Tryna hold in my breath,
        Em
Till I shake,
                 C
And if love was a harbour,
           G
I lost the boat,
                   Am    Am*
Yeah, I’m drownin’ slow . . .,
               Em      Em
And hope don’t float.


[Bridge]
          C                        G
There’s a part of me still waiting for a call,
     D                      Em
Some voice that says you matter after all,
        C                     G
But the silence is louder the harder I try,
    D                     Am
And I’m not sure I’ve got one more fight.


[Chorus 3]
             C
I’m drowning slow,
               G
And hope don’t float,
           D
And giving up,
                 Em
Is just down the road,
             C
You were the light,
                G
I believe could stay,
                    D
But now you’re just shadows,
                   Em
That won’t look my way,
                 C
And I’m tired of sinkin’,
                G
With nothing to show,
                   Am    Am*
Yeah, I’m drownin’ slow . . .,
               Em      Em
And hope don’t float.


[Outro]
      Em
So if you see me gone,
    Em
And don’t understand,
     Em
Just know I reached out,
        Em
With an empty hand.
