[Verse 1]
A                D          G
We’ve both done time as lifeboats
                 D           G
held our breath through the downpour
           D
Not sure what the sky means
D                       C                      G
without endless lightning rounds  Lore
C                      E
tells though of a place
E                D                            G
where seas are smooth and clear
E                        D
 Let’s      say      we take turns?
D                 E             G
I’ll draw the map, you steer

[Chorus 1]
 C    A
What if we
C                    D
could lose our anchors
     E
for a little while?
  C      A
I can see (I can see)
   E
rays and coral
           E
just beyond your smile

[Chorus 2]
      D             G
Ashore we stay absorbed in
       D              G
lending ears, fighting the fash
              D
But you make it safe to scuba
D            E            G
I say, let’s make a splash

GGG  CCC DDD  E

[Chorus 1]
C         A
What / if we
C                   D
could lose our anchors
A            E
for a little while?
C             A
When you write
               C         A                     E
 (I can see) coralyou’ve got that style

[Verse 2]
Am                      Em
Let’s meet under a wave
Am                        D
where we make the rules
Am                        E
Fuck around with gender
Am                           E
make art and play the fools
                 G
Reject / the scripts
        C              G
and heal, grow gills
E                       E
Laugh under the water
G               C
til we get our fill

[Chorus 1]
E
Let’s/ just be (stop staccato)
C                 D
and lose our anchors
    E
for a little while?
C     A 
CanYOU see what I see
C            A
rays and coral
                 E
for another mile?

[Bridge]
D D D                           E
Sometimes I worry, can it be true
            Em                 Em
without drowning, storm clairvoyance
            E          C       G
but darlin’ you’re sure selling me
G         A              A     G
love as eeeasy breeeathing, buoyancy
N.C.
a warm springboard to diving deep
                      G
secure, flamboyant, free

G G G  C C C D D D  E
G G G  C C C  D D D A

[Chorus 1]
C          A
What if we (what if we)
C                    D
could lose our anchors
           E
for a little while?
C                      A
Hope that you keep my key
C                          A
dry through the tides
E                                            Em
that the diving’s worth your while

[Chorus 2]
       D             G
Ashore we stay absorbed in
       D             G
lending ears, fighting the fash
                D
It’s a clumsy stroke I’m learning
D              E           G
but it sure does beat the thrash
             D
You make it safe to scuba
D           E           E
How rare, a space to splash
