Came up to the surface

I cannot remember how

long I've been swimming

Drowning Cause I've
grown accustomed to

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

I owe at least that
E D
much to the both of us

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
