[Verse 1]
Ab      Eb        Cm
Threw a bottle
Ab         Eb     Cm
Across the water
Ab         Eb     Cm
To someone who's
Ab          Eb    Cm
Thinking of me
Ab          Eb    Cm
There's a tower
Ab       Eb       Cm
In the ocean
Ab            Eb  Cm
Pouring through me
Ab              Eb
That's my will and testament
 
[Chorus]
Ab    Bb           Eb           Ab
I, I, I am waiting on the other side, sigh
Bb              Eb
Looked out into everything and
Ab     Bb            Eb                       Ab
I lie, tell myself, "It's nothing", when it's quite right
Bb                Eb               Bb  Ab  Eb  Cm  Ab  Eb  Cm
Everything grows stronger in the light
 
[Verse 2]
Ab      Eb        Cm
When a boy who
Ab          Eb    Cm
Played with razors
Ab      Eb        Cm
Met a girl who
Ab      Eb        Fm
Opened cages
Ab      Eb        Fm
All the birds flew
Ab      Eb            Fm
Through the graveyard
Ab          Eb     Fm
And their laughter
Ab      Eb
Was contagious
 
[Chorus]
Ab    Bb           Eb           Ab
I, I, I am watching on the other side, sigh
Bb              Eb
Looked out into every nil and nigh
Ab     Bb            Eb                       Ab
Lie, tell myself it's darkest when it's quite bright
Bb                Eb                  Cm   Ab
Everything grows stronger in the light
Eb           Cm  Ab
In the light
Eb           Cm  Ab
In the light
Bb           Cm  Ab
In the light
 
[Bridge]
Eb                       Ab        Cm
Standing at the sea and swallowing
Eb
Without you, beside you
Ab                    Eb
But you knew what I knew
 
[Chorus]
Ab    Bb           Eb           Ab
I, I, I am waiting on the other side, sigh
Bb              Eb
Looked out into everything and
Ab     Bb            Eb                       Ab
I lie, tell myself, "It's nothing", when it's quite right
Bb                Eb
Everything goes, everything grows
Ab    Bb           Eb
I, I, I am watching, I am waiting
Ab    Bb           Eb
I, I, I am waiting, I'm not breaking
Ab    Bb           Eb           Ab
I lie, tell myself, "It's okay", when it's not quite
Bb                Eb
Everything grows stronger in the light
