[E]
This is [B] for the lions living in the [Em] wiry, broke down [B] frames of my friends' [E] bodies.
When the floodwater [B]
comes, it ain't gonna be [Em] clear, it's gonna look [A]
like mud.
[C#] But I [A] will help you swim.
I will help you swim.
I'm gonna help you [E] swim.
This is for the snakes and the people they bite.
For the friends I've [A] made.
For the sleepless [E] nights.
For the warning signs I've completely ignored.
There's an amount [A] to take, reasons to [C#] take more.
[F#m] It's no big [C#m] surprise you turned out this way.
[F#m] When they [C#m] closed their eyes and prayed you would change.
[F#m] And they cut [C#m] your hair and sent you away.
[F#m] You stopped by [C#m] my house the night you escaped.
[F#m] With tears [C#m] in my eyes, I begged you to stay.
You said, hey man, I love [A] you.
But no fucking [E] way that we could [G#] find something for [A] you to do on [F#] stage.
Maybe [E] shake a [G#] tambourine or when I [A] sing, you sing [F#]
harmonies.

[E]
This is for [G#m] the lake that me and my [E] friends swim in.
Naked [A] and dumb on a [E] drunken night.
It should have [G#m] felt good, but I can hear the [E] Jaws theme song on [A] repeat in the back of [C#] my mind.
[F#m] Join us, your [E] knuckles, [C#m] before you punch me [A] in the [C#m] face.
There are lessons to be learned.
[A] [C#m]
Consequences for all the stupid [A] things I [C#m] say.
And it is no big surprise you [A] turned [C#m] out this way.
Spark in your eyes, [A] a look on your [C#m] face.
I [E] will not forget.
I'm sure that we [G#] could find something [A] for you to do [F#] on stage.
[E] Maybe shake a [G#] tambourine or when I sing, [A] you sing
[F#] harmonies.
I want to [E] contribute to the chaos.
I don't [A] want to watch the men [E] [F#] complain.
Because [E] I am through finding [G#] blame.
That is a [A] decision that I [F#] made.

[E] Somebody's in your basement, [B] my [C#m] heart.

Never [E] graduating up in [C#m] size to [A] add another.
And [E] my nightmares will happen every [F#] night.
[G#] Every [A] night.
Every [E] night.
