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

My good intentions just keep sliding by the wayside
