Em C

[Verse 1]
G
No one sets out to break a heart
G
But then it surely happens
G
Surprise surprise the rush of time
G
Has turned us out of fashion
          Em
Now we're staring down a future
     C
That used to feel so very far away
G G

[Verse 2]
G
No one's love is ever given
G
Surely it's just borrowed
G
Returned anew or held onto
G
And given back tomorrow
     Em
With someone else's story
    C
And someone else's sorrow
G G

[Chorus]
          Em         C
There's a sea change coming
      G            D
Oh To sweep us all away
          Em         C
There's a sea change coming
       G              D
Who am I to fight the waves?
       C
Who am I to fight the waves?
G G
G G

[Verse 3]
G
It feels to me the more I see
G
The less I understand it
G
And as the years attach to me
G
I find that I'm pretending
      Em                            C
To be calmer, to be stronger, to be ready for
C
How the story ends
G G

[Bridge 1]
     Am                    C
What doesn't change cannot stay the same

[Chorus]
          Em         C
There's a sea change coming
      G            D
Oh To sweep us all away
          Em         C
There's a sea change coming
       G              D
Who am I to fight the waves?
       C
Who am I to fight the waves?
G G

[Bridge 2]
C
That's the way that this love goes
    D
You let it grow or it grows old
       G
You're either on the ride or in the wake

Em D

C
When my time is done
            D
I hope that I will be ready to go
G                     Em  D
Who am I to fight the waves?
C                              (break)
Who am I to fight the waves?

[Outro]
N.C.                 C
There's a sea change coming
      G              D
Oh to sweep us all away
          Em         C
There's a sea change coming
       G                D
Who am I to fight the waves?
          Em         C
There's a sea change coming
      G            D
Oh To sweep us all away
          Em         C
There's a sea change coming
       G              D
Who am I to fight the waves?
       C (let ring)
Who am I to fight the waves?
