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 



          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 

G  G  Em  Bm / C


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 



          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
