NOT WAVING
Words and music by Lachlan Irvine
[Am] Not waving, I'm drowning;
[Dm] I tried my best to be your lovin' [Am] man.
[Am] Not waving, can't you see I'm drowning;
If [E] you won't help, let me [G] find someone who [Am] can.
[Am] I'm out here feeling like I'm slowly sinking,
[Dm] Hoping I can reach some solid [Am] land.
[Am] But when I see you turning round and leaving,
I [Dm] know you'll never lend a helping [Am] hand.
[Am] Not waving, I'm drowning;
[Dm] I tried my best to be your lovin' [Am] man.
[Am] Not waving, can't you see I'm drowning;
If [E] you won't help, let me [G] find someone who [Am] can.
[Am] At first it all seemed so exciting,
That [Dm] you could want someone like me a-[Am]-round;
But the [Am] more I tried to hold on to you,
The [Dm] more I could feel you drag me [Am] down.
[Am] Not waving, I'm drowning;
[Dm] I tried my best to be your lovin' [Am] man.
[Am] Not waving, can't you see I'm drowning;
If [E] you won't help, let me [G] find someone who [Am] can.
[Am] Love can never work if it's one sided,
The [Dm] good times and bad times must be [Am] shared.
As [Am] you stand there just watching me go under,
It's [Dm] plain to see you never really [Am] cared.
[Am] Not waving, I'm drowning;
[Dm] I tried my best to be your lovin' [Am] man.
[Am] Not waving, can't you see I'm drowning;
If [E] you won't help, let me [G] find someone who [Am] can.
[Am] If I can make it through these choppy waters,
I [Dm] swear I'm going to make a brand new [Am] start.
I'll [Am] find someone whose love can be relied on,
I'll [Dm] never be so careless with my [Am] heart.
[Am] Not waving, I'm drowning;
[Dm] I tried my best to be your lovin' [Am] man.
[Am] Not waving, can't you see I'm drowning;
If [E] you won't help, let me [G] find someone who [Am] can.
[Am] Not waving, I'm drowning;
[Dm] I know I'll never be your lovin' [Am] man.
[Am] Not waving, can't you see I'm drowning;
If [E] you won't help, I've got to [G] find someone who [Am] can.
