           E* 
So tell me why 

Why you're still here and I'm still here 
     B 
And we're still taking time 
                               A 
Out of our busy lives just to fuck around 
                                         E* 
Spewing words we both could live without 

                E* 
And tell me why 

Why you're still here and I'm still here 
      B 
And we're still spending nights 
                                      A 
Wasting half our lives like fucking clowns 
                                      E* 
Running around this god forsaken town 

C#m                                  
    I think I'll pass on the summer 
A 
    Don't wanna fall for it this time 
E 
    I'm drowning, drowning, drowning down 
C#m                                
    And yeah I might miss your mother 
A 
    I fantasize about her sometimes 
E 
    Drowning, drowning, drowning down 
B                             A 
    There's nothing left to do 
                  B                E* 
    But let the waves crash over you
 

verse 2 
                E* 
So tell me why 
                                       B 
If I'm as bad as all those things you call me every night 
                                         A 
You want me in your life just to drag around 
                                           E* 
I'm never living up to what you thought you found 

Ooh 
 
C#m                                  
    I think I'll pass on the summer 
A 
    Ain't gonna work for me this time 
E 
    I'm drowning, drowning, drowning down 
C#m                                
    And yeah I might miss your mother 
A 
    But she knows what's best when you're 
E 
    Drowning, drowning, drowning down 
B                             A 
    There's nothing left to do 
                  B                 E 
    But let the waves crash over you
