Verse 2:

Thought I saw a glimpse of how you were at five
Ain't it strange how these things take you by surprise?
Chorus 1:
[Am] [E/G#]
We are drifting on a deep sea
And I can't navigate the stars like my father
[Am] [Am/G] [Am/F] [E] [Am]
Oh we're drifting out to sea into deep water. If we're scared it puts us under
[Am] [Am/F#] [Am/G]
Verse 3:
[Am] [Am/F#] [Am/G]

When it sinks in you will not always be here
Funny how all your small worries disappear
Chorus 2:
[Am] [E/G#]
We are drifting on a deep sea
And I can't navigate the stars like my father
[Am] [Am/G] [Am/F] [E]
Oh we're drifting out to sea into deep water x5
If we're scared it puts us under

If you're thinking what you know is true then tell them. Let them notice.
