(I’m not a good vocalist) Anyway try to sing to the chord and you find it okay. Intro: Verse 1: It could be worse I could be alone I could be locked in here on my own Like a stone that suddenly drops It never stops no I could be lost Or I Could be saved Calling out from beneath the waves Beaten down by this ocean rain Never again Never again Note: During the "Ohh ohh ohh" part in the chorus Jonny play the same as the intro. Chorus: Ohhh ohhh ohhh Ohhh ohhh ohhh Ohhh ohhh ohhh Screaming out from the crests of waves Note: Same as the intro. Instrumental: Gmaj Cmaj Bmin Gmaj Cmaj Bmin Verse 2: It could be worse Bitter or sweet It could be snapped from the jaws of defeat Like a light lit upon a beach Wear your heart on your sleeve Oh You want to stop before you begin You want to sink when you know you could swim You want to stop just before you begin Never give in Never give in Note: Same as the first chorus. Chorus: Ohhh ohhh ohhh Ohhh ohhh ohhh Ohhh ohhh ohhh Screaming out from the crests of waves Bridge: Nothing matters Except life and the love you make Nothing matters Except life and the love you make Nothing matters Except life and the love you make Except life and the love you make Chorus: Ohhh ohhh ohhh Ohhh ohhh ohhh Ohhh ohhh ohhh Screaming out from the crests of waves Ohhh ohhh ohhh Ohhh ohhh ohhh Ohhh ohhh ohhh Screaming out from the crests of waves Fade: Where your longing to be saved Screaming out from the crests of waves Where your longing to be saved Screaming out from the crests of waves Note: About the chorus & intro I still don’t really know how to show you guys the way of struming on some parts of the strings & in the same time to change the chords. I guess you’ll have to try it out if you know the song very well.
