_ This is for the [G#m] lions living in the [E] wiry, broke-down [B] frames of my friends' bodies.
[E] When a floodwater [G#m] comes, it ain't gonna be [E] clear, it's gonna look [A] like mud.
But I will help you swim.
Wait a second.
_ _ _ _ _ I'm gonna [E] help you swim! _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ This is for the snakes and the people they bite, for the friends I've [A] made on the [E] sleepless nights.
_ [D#] Warning signs I've completely [E] ignored, and am out [A] to take reasons to take [C#m] more.
[A] No big surprise, it turned out this way.
When they closed their eyes, the phrase would change.
They cut your hair, sent you away.
You stopped by my house, the night you escaped.
With tears in my eyes, I begged you to stay.
You said, hey man, I love you, but not quite.
[E] _
When we could [G#] find something [A] for you to do _ [F#] offstage.
[E] Maybe shake the _ _ [G#m] tambourine, or when I [A] sing, you sing _ _ [F#] harmonies.

This is [G#m] for the lakes, that me and my friends [E] swim in.
[A] Naked and dumb on a drunken [E] night.
Oh, it should have felt [G#m] good, but I couldn't hear the [E] Jaws theme song.
On [A] repeat, in the back of my [E] mind.
_ [A] _ _ [C#m] _ Before you punched me in the face, [A] there are lessons [E] to be learned.
[A] _ _ [C#m] Consequences for all the stupid things I say.
And it is no [E] big surprise, [A] it turned out this [E] way.
Spark in your [A] eyes, will cut your face.
I [E] will not be stern with you.
[G#] Find something for [A] you to do _ [F#m]
offstage.
_ [E] Maybe shake the _ [G#]
tambourine, or when I [A] sing, you sing _ _
[F#m] harmonies.
I [E] want to get triggered, into the [G#m] chaos.
I don't want [A] to watch, men [F#m] complain.
_ I [E] am the _ _ _
[G#m] _ man, who is in the [A] season.
I [F#m] am the _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _

[C#m] _ _ _ _ [A] _ sea [E] horse, _ I'm her brother.
Asleep [C#m] on a twin [A] size mattress.
In some [E] funny setting, her face made my [C#m] own.
_ _ _ [A] _ I'm not [E] _ _ _ _ waiting [G#m] on a [C#m] twin size to [A] add another.
And [E] my nightmares will have theirs every [C#m] night.
Oh, every [A] night, every [E] night.

Thank you.
