Introdução:
E B A
This is for the lions living in the wiry broke-down frames of my friends bodies.
E B A
When the flood water comes, it ain't gonna be clear, it&rsquo s gonna look like mud.
G#m A
But I will help you swim.
G#m A
I will help you swim.
E
I'm gonna help you swim.
E B A
This is for the snakes and the people they bite
For the friends I&rsquo ve made for the sleepless nights
E B A
For the warning signs I&rsquo ve completely ignored.
There&rsquo s an amount to take, reasons to take more.
G#m A
It's no big surprise you turned out this way.
G#m A
When they close their eyes and prayed you would change
E B A
And they cut your hair, and sent you away
You stopped by my house the night you escaped
E B A
With tears in my eyes, I begged you to stay
You said, &ldquo Hey man, I love you but no fucking way&rdquo
E G#m A F#m
I&rsquo m sure that we could find something for you to do on stage.
E G#m A F#m
Maybe shake a tambourine or when I sing, you sing harmonies.
E B A
This is for the lake that me and my friends swim in, naked and dumb on a drunken night
E B A
And it should've felt good but I can hear the Jaws theme song on repeat in the back of my mind
G#m A G#m A
Make sure you kiss your knuckles before you punch me in the face
G#m A G#m A
There are lessons to be learned, consequences for all the stupid things I say
E B
And it is no big surprise you turned out this way.
A
The spark in her eyes, The look on your face.
I will not be late.
E G#m A F#m
I&rsquo m sure that we could find something for you to do on stage.
E G#m A F#m
Maybe shake a tambourine or when I sing, you sing harmonies.
E G#m A F#m
I wanna contribute to the chaos, I don&rsquo t wanna watch and then complain,
E G#m A F#m
'Cause I am through finding blame, that is the decision that I have made.

E C#m A
She hopes I&rsquo m cursed forever to sleep on a twin-sized mattress
E C#m A
In somebody&rsquo s attic or basement my whole life,
E C#m A
Never graduating up in size to add another
E
And my nightmares will have nightmares every night
C#m A
Oh, every night. Every night.
