but it won't have the same fullness.

Verse 1:
      E*
So tell me why

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

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

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

Ooh

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

Why you're still here and I'm still here

And we're still taking time
                   A augmentedA
Out of our busy lives just to fuck around
