(Capo on 2)

(Intro.)
|(Bm) / / (D)|(G) / / (Am)|

(Verse 1)
(Bm) Is this as bad as it gets or is it (D)gonna get (G)better? (A)
(Bm) Is this some kind of test, or (D)will it (G)be like this forever? (A)
(Bm) ‘Cause I ain’t ever see a cloud this (D)dark
(G) And I ain’t ever been down this (A)far
(Bm) Is this as bad as it gets or is it (A)gonna get (G)better?

(Chorus)
(Bm) I know it ain't gonna be no (D)easy ride
(G) And what doesn't kills you makes you (A)stronger
(Bm) But I'm running out of places (D)I can hide
(G) And everyday it's like the nights get (A)longer
(Bm) When I close my eyes, yeah the (D)waves get (G)high and the flames get hotter (A)
(Bm) So I'm asking myself 'cause (D)I can't tell (G) if this is hell or just high (Bm)water? (D) (G) (A)

(Verse 2)
(Bm) Is the tide gonna (D)turn or will it (G)keep on (A)rising?
(Bm) Is it all gonna burn and it (D)strikes like (G)lightning?
‘Cause I’m fighting and (A)I’m just
(Bm) Hangin’ on to any thread of (D)hope
(G)Wonderin’ if I should just let (A)go
(Bm) ‘Cause it’s killin’ me to just (D)keep on (G)climbin’
Lookin’ for a silver (A)lining

(Chorus)
(Bm) I know it ain't gonna be no (D)easy ride
(G) And what doesn't kills you makes you (A)stronger
(Bm) But I'm running out of places (D)I can hide
(G) And everyday it's like the nights get (A)longer
(Bm) When I close my eyes, yeah the (D)waves get (G)high and the flames get hotter (A)
(Bm) So I'm asking myself 'cause (D)I can't tell (G) if this is hell or just high (Bm)water? (D) (G) (A)

(Bridge)
(Bm)Oh, will it (D)ever be (G)over? (A)
(Bm)Oh, am I (D)two steps (G)back, or one step closer (A)

(Chorus)
(Bm) I know it ain't gonna be no (D)easy ride
(G) And what doesn't kills you makes you (A)stronger
(Bm) But I'm running out of places (D)I can hide
(G) And everyday it's like the nights get (A)longer
(Bm) When I close my eyes, yeah the (D)waves get (G)high and the flames get hotter (A)
(Bm) So I'm asking myself 'cause (D)I know damn (G)well
That this ain’t (A)hell
(D) It’s just high (A)water
(Em)High (D)water
It’s (D/F#)just high (Em)water - - - - -
