C       G 
Gettin' deep 
    C         Em         C      G 
I'm out of my depth at a public beach 
        Em              Am     C     G 
I never listened, I had to see for myself 
               G 
It's comin' in waves 
       C          Em          C       G 
Shoots through my mind like a pinball stray 
         Am    C            G 
Friendly fire, point-blank 


[Pré-Refrão]

        G         C       G 
Salt in my lungs, holdin' my breath

Makin' peace with my inevitable death

      C    Em    D   C 
Wound up a bad comedian 
   C      D         Em       A 
An honest fool with more bad habits 
     C   G         C G 
Than you can count

There we were 
    C  Em   C      G 
Was anyone ever so young?

Breakin' curfew with illegal fireworks 
       D             C        G 
Unpackin' God in the surburbs

    C        G    C Em C G 
I'm swimmin' back

Final: 

C           G 
Writin' the words 
       C          Em          C    G 
To the worst love song you've ever heard 
         Em              C     G 
Soundin' out the foreign characters 
        Em             C   G 
An incantation like an anti-curse 
   C      G 
Or even a blessin'
