FmWhen I was 5 years old
C FAnd I was scared to sleep alone on darker nights
Fm CI thought the monsters would all try to eat me
FIf they saw my open eyes
Fm C FMy mother taught me praying to my Maker would send angels to my aid
Fm C FAs a child, I learned that messages to Heaven were the way to keep me safe
[Chorus]
Fm C FThrow me in the waves
Fm C FThrow me in the ocean, I've been hopeless in this boat with all my shame
Fm C FThrow me in the waves
FmAnd if I'm swallowed by a monster
C FI know God's here and I'll make it out okay
[Verse 2]
Fm C FThen everything was wonderful and marvelous with God paving the way
Fm C FI pushed myself to follow every message and commandment that He gave
Fm C FAnd no one seemed to notice as my mental health slowly withered away
Fm C F'Cause if you feel like you are trapped inside yourself, it has to be a test of faith
[Chorus]
Fm C FThrow me in the waves
Fm C FThrow me in the ocean, I've been hopeless in this boat with all my shame
Fm C FThrow me in the waves
FmAnd if I'm swallowed by a monster
C FI know God's here and I'll make it out okay
[Verse 3]
Fm C FI'm 22 years old, and I'm still scared to sleep alone on darker nights
Fm C'Cause when I needed God the most, He left me out for dead
FHe left my side
Fm CMaybe He's just a thing our parents made
FBecause it helps them to feel safe
Fm CBut if He's real, one day I'll get to meet Him
FThen I know just what I'll say
[Chorus]
Fm C FThrow me in the waves
Fm CI was swallowed by the monster, and you disappeared
FYou don't deserve your place
Fm C FThrow me in the waves
FmAnd I'd rather drown and die
C FThan have to spend all of my life with missplaced faith
