Verse 1
D5                         D5
This place is dragging me down
   B5     F#5      G5           A5   E5
A hamster wheel, I thought I'd be done by now\
D5                            D5
Now that all my allies are gone
  B5  F#5  G5         A5    E5            E5
I realize advancing could hold you back


Chorus
B5    D5     F#5      G5         A5       Bb5      B5
My good intentions just keep sliding by the wayside
G5    D5        F#5      G5        A5      C#5        D5
But its high tide and they get washed away with time
      B5            G5           B5            G5
Until everything's gone, until everything's gone

Repeat Intro x2

Verse 2
D5                                      D5
I was flying along the Long Island sound
       B5      F#5    G5         A5       E5
But fine's polite I'd rather things more profound
D5                                                  D5
I've become a rock these days and I swim like one
             B5          F#5    G5         A5      E5              E5
Alone again, barely      surviving       the   tidal wave

B5    D5      F#5     G5        A5       Bb5      B5
My good intentions just keep sliding by the wayside
G5      D5      F#5        G5      A5      C#5       D5
But its high tide and they get washed away with time
        B5          G5           B5            G5
Until everything's gone, until everything's gone

  F#5                   G5             A5
I swear, damn it all to hell, damn it all to hell

  D5                F#5        B5            A5
I think I finally found the way to go to heaven
        D5                 F#5          B5                A5
Without dying,     so I'm on       my way
    E5          F#5       G5          A5
The harder you work, the harder you fall
    E5           F#5      G5          A5
You wake up one day with nothing at all

Chorus X2 MUTED

Chorus
B5    D5  F#5        G5         A5       Bb5      B5
My good intentions just keep sliding by the wayside
G5    D5        F#5      G5         A5     C#5       D5
But its high tide and they get washed away with time
      B5            G5           B5            G5
Until everything's gone, until everything's gone
      B5            G5           B5            G5
Until everything's gone, until everything's gone
  F#5                   G5              
I swear, damn it all to hell
