[Intro]
Cm D# Gm A# 2x

[Verse]
Cm         D#
head under water
         Gm
and they tell me
            A#
to breathe easy for a while
Cm                 D#
but breathing gets harder
     Gm       A#
even i know that

[Verse]
Cm                D#
you made room for me
                     Gm
but it’s too soon to see
       A#
if I’m happy in your hands

im unusually hard to hold on to

[Pre-chorus]
Cm           A#
Blank stares at blank pages

I learned the hard way

that they all say
A#                     Cm
things you wanna hear
         D#
My heavy heart
        Gm     A#      Cm
sings deep down under you
         D#
and your twisted words
     Gm
your help just hurts
        A#         
  you were not what
               Cm
i thought you were
D#        Gm       A#   Cm
hello to high and dry

[Pre-chorus]
            A#
convinced me to please you
