Avril Lavigne - Head Above Water Chords

[intro]
Dm  Bb  C

[verse 1]
           Dm            Bb          F    C
I've gotta keep the calm before the storm
  Dm                 Bb          F     C
I don't want less, I don't want more
     Dm              Bb       F      C
Must bar the windows and the doors
   Dm               Bb       F    C
To keep me safe, to keep me warm

[verse 2]
         Dm               Bb        F    C
Yeah, my life is what I'm fighting for
      Dm                  Bb         F    C
Can't part the sea, can't reach the shore
       Dm                Bb       F     C
And my voice becomes the driving force
        Dm               Bb   F
I won't let this pull me overboard

[chorus]
             Dm         Bb
God, keep my head above water
             F
Don't let me drown
        C
It gets harder
              Dm           Bb
I'll meet you there at the altar
     F               C
As I fall down to my knees
             Dm              Bb
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
              F                            C
Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown

[verse 3]
   Dm              Bb    F      C
So pull me up from down below
          Dm             Bb    F   C
Cause I'm underneath the undertow
     Dm             Bb       F    C
Come dry me off and hold me close
  Dm              Bb        F
I need you now, I need you most

[chorus]
             Dm         Bb
God, keep my head above water
             F
Don't let me drown
        C
It gets harder
              Dm           Bb
I'll meet you there at the altar
     F               C
As I fall down to my knees
             Dm              Bb
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
              F                            C
Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown
             Dm              Bb
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
                   F             C
Keep my head above water, above water

[bridge]
    Bb  C    F          Dm     C
And I can't see in the stormy weather
Bb  C    F               Dm  C
I can't seem to keep it all together
    Bb       C        F          Dm    C
And I can't swim the ocean like this forever
    Bb       C
And I can't breathe

[chorus]
             Dm         Bb
God, keep my head above water
          F
I lose my breath
        C
At the bottom
            Dm          Bb
Come rescue me, I'll be waiting
        F                C
I'm too young to fall asleep
             Dm         Bb
God, keep my head above water
             F
Don't let me drown
        C
It gets harder
              Dm           Bb
I'll meet you there at the altar
     F               C
As I fall down to my knees
             Dm  Bb
Don't let me dro-own
              F                            C
Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown
             Dm  Bb
Don't let me dro-own
                   F           C
Keep my head above water,  above water
