Intro:
G D Em C x4

         G              D            Em
I can remember sitting around at my house
       C                          G
And watching the smoke fill the living room
        D                    Em        C
As you rested your feet on my coffee table
                             G
And we watched something on TV
  D               Em
Talked about the world
         C                  G               D      Em  C
But the lines were already drawn from the magazines
                     G
And you called me a sponge
         D              Em             C
And you were just like diamond coated plastic
      G       D         Em    C            G  D
Just plastic, so invincible, so invincible
        Em                 C         G             D               Em
But it's not like that at all, it's not like that anymore and I'm not
              C
Like that anymore

    G                D
And I got to hold my breath
             C                      D
Because the puddle that got you is bound to get me too
    G                   D
And I shouldn't hold my breath
          C                       D
Because a sponge like you needs a puddle to go to
    G                   D
And I, I have breathing room
            C               
Because the puddle in which you fell
     D                              G
My diamond coated plastic could repel
        D            C   D
Could repel, could repel

                               G   D
Diamond coated plastic could repel
       Em
Could repel
    C                                G  D  Em  C
My diamond coated plastic could repel

           G               D           Em              C
And I will repel you just like you're one of the others
           G               D           Em              C
And I will expel you just like you're one of the others
            G    D                 Em     C
Because you are, one of the others now
             G                    D         Em        C
It's kind of weird, I think, the way that people change
           G          D         Em              C
Think you know someone, but you don't, but you can't
         G                 D
Soak 'em up, soak 'em come up
        Em                  C
Because I don't even care anymore
               G         D
Because you'll never be alone
          Em         C
And I'll always be alone

                  G
Because you're a sponge
                  D
Because you're a sponge
                  Em
Because you're a sponge
C
Who would ever guess it?
G                   D                   Em
Not me, not me, but I don't even know anymore
    C                    G   D  Em  C
And how am I to know anymore

    G               D                       C
And I, I'm out of breath, because I've been holding it for years
    D
And holding back the tears
G                       D
Please let me catch my breath
    C             
And soak up a puddle there
     D
And scrambling for air
G                 D
I finally got my breath
           C
And now at least I know for sure
       D         G                D                 C
I'm a puddle stomper, stomper, stomper, stomper, stomper, stomper
        D       G      D      Em    C
I am a puddle stomper,    stomper
              G
I'm a puddle stomper
              D
I'm a puddle stomper
              Em
I'm a puddle stomper
              C
I'm a puddle stomper
              G
And you're a sponge
              D
And you're a sponge
              Em
And you're a sponge
              C
And you're a sponge
              G    D  E  C  G  D  E  C  G  D
And you're a sponge
               Em        C
I'm a puddle stomper now
               G    D
I'm a puddle stomper
               Em    C
I'm a puddle stomper
               G    D
And you're a sponge
           Em  C
And you're a
               G    D  Em  C
I'm a puddle stomper
