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, itâ??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.

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. 
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, â??Hey man, I love you but no fucking wayâ? 

E 

E                       B                       A 
Iâ??m sure that we could find something for you to do on stage. 
E               B                       A 
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

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                       A 
Iâ??m sure that we could find something for you to do on stage. 
E               B                       A 
Maybe shake a tambourine or when I sing, you sing harmonies. 
E               B               A 
I wanna contribute to the chaos, I donâ??t wanna watch and then complain, 
E               B               A 
'Cause I am through finding blame, that is the decision that I have made.
