  Here I am, take me
D7          G/B       C9   G9
  It's easier to give in, no whoa, whoa

    D5                                      C9
I'm packing my bags 'cause I don't want to be
    Bb6                                D5
The only one who's drowning in their misery
         D5                                        C9
And I'll take that chance 'cause I just want to breathe
      G/B                                    D5
And I won't look back and wonder how it's supposed to be
                    D7 G/B    C9  G9  D7  G/B  C9  G9
How it's supposed to be,  ho, oh

VERSE:
There's a prism by the window
It lets the light leak in, oh whoa oh whoa
I wish you would let me
You feel the water but do you swim, mmmm mmm oh whoa, oh whoa

And it's only me, empty handed
With a childish grin and a camera

CHORUS 2:
D5                                      C9
I'm packing my bags 'cause I don't want to be
    Bb6                                D5
The only one who's drowning in their misery
         D5                                        C9
And I'll take that chance 'cause I just want to breathe
      G/B                                    D5
And I won't look back and wonder how it's supposed to be
                D5                F5 E5 D5
How it's supposed to be,  ho, oh
                         F5 E5 D5    F5 E5 D5
