         Em                           DI cannot remember how long I've been swimming
C        GDrowning
                                           Em'Cause I've grown accustomed to all of the sharks
                       DAnd they're not really breathing
CUh huh

                G     D            CBut I know that I can win back her trust
               G         D              C   I owe at least that much to the both of us

G                                 Em        Developed a knack for this dull conversation
               D                      CI'd sharpen my wit, but what's my motivation?
G                                        EmDon't need to be clever to tell you that I'm just
                      D                          CA total mess and that I must throw that old self away
           Em        Bm         CIf I don't get right now I will always
           Em                      D                   CEat what's decayed, sleep with the snakes here in this cold grave
