Intro: A--F#m-A/C#-D- x2


Verse 1:
A
  Came up to the surface
           F#m
I cannot remember how
               E
long I've been swimming
D       A
Drowning Cause I've
grown accustomed to
           F#m
all of the sharks
And they're not
       E
really breathing
   D
Uh huh Now I won't
     F#m      A/C#
just mind the gap
     D
I'll fill it
             F#m
If I'm gonna eat
     E           D
this mosquito of anger


Chorus:
          A
I haven't really made
    A/C#         D
the most of this life
                   A
From here on I'll spit
back whatever don't
      A/C# D
taste right One time
  A       F#m      A/C#
I told my heart to shut
  D                A
up But I know that I
    E            D
can win back her trust
               F#m
I owe at least that
     E              D
much to the both of us


Post Chorus: A--F#m-A/C#-D- x2


Verse 2:
A  
  Developed a knack for
                  F#m
this dull conversation
               E
I'd sharpen my wit
                  D
but what's my motivation?
A
  Don't need to be clever
                 F#m
to tell you that I'm just
                      E
A total mess and that I
must throw that old self
 D                  F#m
away If I don't get right
    A/C#   D
now I will always Eat what's
  F#m                   E
decayed sleep with the snakes
             D
here in this cold grave


(Repeat Chorus 1) 


Bridge:
F#m
   I was waiting
 D
(Waiting)
For this to happen
to happen to me
A               E        [ch]C#/F[/ch]
  But nothing's happening
F#m           D
   I feel my skin as
              A
the sun burns in

And something in
        E
me says let it
Cause one more
look might 


Outro:
 A            F#m
-change it all
A/C#     D
One more word might
A            F#m
change it all
A/C#     D
One more try might
A            F#m
change it all
A/C#     D
One more kiss
      A            F#m
might change it all
    D
One more look might
A(hold)
change it all
