VERSE
G
Came up to the surface
Em D
I cannot remember how long I've been swimming
C G
Drowning
Em
'Cause I've grown accustomed to all of the sharks
D
And they're not really breathing
C
Uh huh
Em Bm C
Now I won't just mind the gap, I'll fill it
Em D C
If I'm gonna eat this mosquito of anger
CHORUS
G Bm C
I haven't really made the most of this life
G Bm C
From here on I'll spit back whatever don't taste right
G Em Bm C
One time I told my heart to shut up
G D C
But I know that I can win back her trust
G D C
I owe at least that much to the both of us

VERSE
G Em
Developed a knack for this dull conversation
D C
I'd sharpen my wit, but what's my motivation?
G Em
Don't need to be clever to tell you that I'm just
D C
A total mess and that I must throw that old self away
Em Bm C
If I don't get right now I will always
Em D C
Eat what's decayed, sleep with the snakes here in this cold grave
CHORUS
G Bm C
I haven't really made the most of this life
G Bm C
From here on I'll spit back whatever don't taste right
G Em Bm C
One time I told my heart to shut up
G D C
But I know that I can win back her trust
G D C
I owe at least that much to the both of us
VERSE/OUTRO
Em
I was waiting (Waiting)
C G
For this to happen to happen to me
D
But nothing's happening
Em C G
I feel my skin as the sun burns in
D
And something in me says let it
G Em
'Cause one more look might change it all
Bm C G Em
One more word might change it all
Bm C G Em
One more try might change it all
Bm C G Em
One more kiss might change it all
C Bm Am G
One more look might change it all
