Avril Lavigne – Head Above Water
Key: D Minor BPM: ♩ = 65 Time: 4/4 
|34Dm   -  Bb  |44F   -  -  Fmaj7   |

          |34Dm       -      Bb      |44F    -  -  Fmaj7   |
I’ve gotta  keep the calm before the  storm
 |34Dm         -       Bb        |44F   -  -  Fmaj7   |
I  don’t want less, I don’t want  more
    |34Dm      -       Bb     |44F    -  -  Fmaj7   |34Dm      -       Bb     |44F   |
Must  bar the windows and the  doors,           to  keep me safe to keep me  warm

       |34Dm      -        Bb      |44F   -  -  Fmaj7   |
Yeah my  life is what I’m fighting  for
     |34Dm       -          Bb       |44F    -  -  Fmaj7   |
Can’t  part the sea, can’t reach the  shore
      |34Dm      -         Bb     |44F    -  -  Fmaj7    |34Dm       -       Bb  |44F   |
And my  voice becomes the driving  force,       I won’t  let this pull me over- board

           |Dm         Bb                 |F              C     |
God keep my head above water, don’t let me drown, it gets harder
             |Dm           Bb         |F/A             C    |
I’ll meet you there at the altar, as I fall down to my knees
            |Dm   Bb            |F    C   |
Don’t let me drown, don’t let me drown

  |34Dm      -       Bb   |44F   -  -  Fmaj7      |34Dm   -         Bb  |44F   -  -  Fmaj7   |
So  pull me up from down below,       ‘cause I’m  underneath the under-tow
    |34Dm     -       Bb     |44F    -  -  Fmaj7   |34Dm       -     Bb      |44F   |
Come  dry me off and hold me  close,            I  need you now I need you  most

           |Dm         Bb                 |F              C     |
God keep my head above water, don’t let me drown, it gets harder
             |Dm           Bb         |F/A             C    |
I’ll meet you there at the altar, as I fall down to my knees
            |Dm   Bb            |F    C   |
Don’t let me drown, don’t let me drown
            |Dm   Bb                  |F/A         C    |
Don’t let me drown, keep my head above water above water

   |Bb  C    |Dm         F              |Bb  C/Bb   |F/A             F           |
And I   can’t see in the stormy weather, I   can’t   seem to keep it all together
   |Bb  C             |Dm         F                |24Bb     |44C      |
And I   can’t swim the ocean like this forever, and  I can’t  breathe

           |Dm                         |C                   |
God keep my head above water, I lose my breath at the bottom
           |Dm                          |C                   |
Come rescue me, I’ll be waiting, I’m too young to fall asleep

           |Dm         Bb                 |F              C     |
God keep my head above water, don’t let me drown, it gets harder
             |Dm           Bb         |F/A             C    |
I’ll meet you there at the altar, as I fall down to my knees
            |F/A    Bb            |Dm   C/E    |
Don’t let me drown,   don’t let me drown
            |F/A    Bb                  |Dm          C    |
Don’t let me drown,   keep my head above water above water
