[E]
This is for the [B] lions living in [Em] the wiry, broke-down [B] frames of my friends' bodies.
[E] When the floodwater [B]
comes, it ain't gonna be [Em] clear, it's gonna look [B]
like mud.
[A] [C#] But I [A] will help you swim.
I will help you [C#] swim.
I'm [A] gonna help you [E] swim.
This is for the snakes and the people they bite.
For the friends [A] I've made.
For the sleepless [E] nights.
For the warning signs I've completely ignored.
There's an amount to [A] take, reasons to take [C#]
more.
[F#m] It's no big [C#m] surprise you turned out this way.
[F#m] When they [C#m] closed their eyes and prayed you would change.
And [F#m] they [C#m] cut your hair and sent you away.
[F#m] You stopped [C#m] by my house the night you escaped.
With tears in my eyes, [A] I begged you to stay.
You said, hey man, I love you.
But no [E] fucking way that we could [G#] find something [A] for you to do [F#] on stage.
Maybe [E] shake a [G#] tambourine or when I sing, [A] you sing [F#]
harmonies.

This is [G#m] for the lake that me and my [E] friends swim in.
Naked [A] and dumb on a drunken [E] night.
It should have felt [G#m] good, but I can hear the [E] Jaws theme song.
I'm [A]
repeating the back of [C#] my mind.
[F#m] Enjoying this, [C#m] your knuckles before you punch me [A] in the [C#m] face.
There are lessons to be learned.
[A]
[C#m] Consequences for all the stupid [F#m] things I [C#m] say.
And it is no big surprise [A] you turned [C#m] out this [A] way.
[C#m] Sparking your [F#m] eyes, the look on your [C#m] face.
I will [E] not be afraid.
I'm sure that we could [G#] find something for [A] you to do on [F#] stage.
[E] Maybe shake a [G#] tambourine or when I sing, [A] you sing [F#] harmonies.
I [E] want to contribute to the chaos.
I don't want [A] to watch the [E] men [F#] complain.
Because I [E] am through finding [G#] blame.
That is a [A] decision that I [F#] made.

[E] And somebody's head in your basement.
[B] [A#] I'm [A]
[E] never graduating.
I'll get [C#m] signed to [A] Adam and not her.
And [E] my nightmares will happen every [F#] night.

Every [E] night.
