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

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

[A] _ She hopes [E] I'm cursed forever to sleep [C#m] on a queen [A]-sized mattress.
[E] And somebody's head in your basement [B] my [G#] whole _ _ [A] _
life.
Never [E] _ _ _ _
graduating a good [C#m] science to add [A] another.
And [E] my nightmares will happen _
[B] every [G#] night.
Every [A] night.
Every [E] night. _ _ _ _ _
