E E B
This is for the lions living in the
A
Wiry broke-down frames of my friends bodies
E B
When the flood water comes, it ain't gonna be
A
Clear, itâ??s gonna look like mud
Abm A
But I will help you swim
Abm 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 Iâ??ve made; for the sleepless nights
E B A
For the warning signs Iâ??ve completely ignored
Thereâ??s an amount to take, reasons to take more
Abm A
It's no big surprise you turned out this way
Abm 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
E
You said, â??Hey man, I love you but no fucking wayâ?
E B
Iâ??m sure that we could find something for you
A
To do on stage
E B A
Maybe shake a tambourine or when I sing, you sing harmonies
E B
This is for the lake that me and my friends
A
Swim in, naked and dumb on a drunken night
E B
And it should've felt good but I can hear the Jaws
A
Theme song on repeat in the back of my mind
Abm A Abm
Make sure you kiss your knuckles before you punch me in the
A
Face
Abm A
There are lessons to be learned, consequences for all the
Abm A
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 B
Iâ??m sure that we could find something for you
A
To do on stage
E B A
Maybe shake a tambourine or when I sing, you sing harmonies
E B
I wanna contribute to the
A
Chaos, I donâ??t wanna watch and then complain
E B
'Cause I am through finding
A
Blame, that is the decision that I have made
E
She hopes Iâ??m cursed forever to sleep on a twin-sized
B A
Mattress
E B A
In somebodyâ??s attic or basement my whole life
E B A
Never graduating up in size to add another
E
And my nightmares will have nightmares every night
B A
Oh, every night. Every night
