Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Turn  the lights out, in the light house,
 I saw you coming,
Felt  the ship wreck
 Saw the wreckage, I heard you yelling,
Just  a mess when I saw your reflection in the sand,
Wondering  where you were washed up,
 Or I ran to the water, Mmmmm,
I  can put my hands down in it,
But  I won't bring nothing up,
Sitting  on the shore all day, waiting  on the tide to come
 But you can't  hold on to water
 It fills you up but never stays
 It's only good to wash away  today
 and your loving  me like water
 Your slippin' through my fingers  such
 A natural disaster  love
 Bringing on the  flood, the flood
 Love me like a flood,  a flood
 Bring it on
Stay  tonight out, by the beach house, it's all so quiet
Lit  a candle candle, by the window, so you might find it
Hope  you know you'll always have a place to call your home
Still,  I can't help but think, I could have saved you from drowning,
 Ohhh, oh,
I  can put my hands down in it, yeah,
But  I won't bring nothing up,
Sitting  on the shore all day
Just  waiting on the tide to come,
 But  you can't hold on  to water
 It fills you up but never stays
 It's only good to wash away  today
 and your loving  me like water
 Your slippin' through my fingers  such
 A natural disaster  love
 Bringing on the  flood, the flood
 Love me like a flood,  a flood
 Bring it on
I  knew the waves were icy, when  I felt them all retreating,
Went  to take a dive in the deep end,
Woah,  what was I thinking?
 But  you can't hold on  to water
 It fills you up but never stays
 It's only good to wash away  today
 and your loving  me like water
 Your slippin' through my fingers  such
 A natural disaster  love
 Bringing on the  flood, the flood
 Love me like a flood,  a flood
 Bring it on
 Ohohohoh Ohohohoh
 Rising and falling in my dreams,
 Rising and the falling of my tears that fill the ocean,
 (The ocean, the ocean) my tears that fill the ocean
 Ohohohohoh
