G              D                  Bm A 
I'll call you when the lake is thugging 
G                D               Bm     A 
Cause we're not swiming clogging at the clouds

You seem to stand out when it's crowded 
G         D               Bm          A 
But quiet pain is when the hearts are loud 
G               D              Bm             A 
And if we're walking then let's please go now, go now, go now

Stop using patterns with me on the ground
