stanza 1: rhythm fig 1 continues...
  D 
never meant to waste your time
  D
never meant to fall out of line
  D                              G
I always tried to get closer to you
 D
now it seems with every step
  D
feels like I'm losin' my breath
D                            G  
I don't know what else I can do
Refrain: (both guitars)

Em
but you wash over me
 G                     D
you wash over me like rain
     Em
and you wash over me
 G                        rhythm fig.1
you wash over me like sunshine

(same as stanza 1)
I never had to choose
living a life with you
or choosing lies only half true
now I'd rather be
alone with you and me
than hiding behind these walls

Refrain:(both guitars)
      Em    
when you wash over me
 G                     D
you wash over me like rain
     Em             
and you wash over me
 G                       D
you wash over me like sunshine
 Em
and you wash over me
 G                     D
you wash over me like rain
     Em                      
and you fall over me
 G                
you crawl over me 
      *enters distortion
      D-Am-C
like sunshine
      D-Am-C
like sunshine
       D                      Am     
everything in the world was falling through
 C
all I knew was to look to you
    D-Am-C
my sunshine
 D                 Am
all my life never found my place
   C
until I felt the sunlight on my face
    D-Am-C
my sunshine

(same as top)stanza chords
never meant to waste your time
never meant to fall out of line
I always tried  to get closer to you
now it seems with every step
feels like I'm losing my breath
I don't know what else I can do

Refrain: ( both guitars)
     Em
but you wash over me
 G                     D
you wash over me like rain
 Em      
and you wash over me
 G                       D
you wash over me like sunshine
     Em  
and you wash over me
 G                     D
you wash over me like rain
     Em  
and you fall into me
 G
you crawl into me 
      *enters distortion
      D-Am-C
like sunshine
      D-Am-C
like sunshine
      D-Am-C
like sunshine
      D-Am-C
like sunshine
