I absolutely adore this song, so I felt it necessary to attempt a tab for 
this song, and with chords for people like myself who find it easier to play and 
sing using chords. I hope I've done a decent job. Please pay attention to the 
chord tab, I know it's easy to play the shapes as if you were in standard but bear 
in mind you are in drop D.

Intro: D9

Verse 1:
D9
So let's face it, this was never what you wanted
D9
But I know, I know it's fun to pretend
D9
Now blank stares and empty threats
D9
Are all I have, they’re all I have

Chorus:
D           
So drown me, if you can
Cadd9
Or we could just have conversation
D
and I fall, I fall, I fall down
CMaj7
But I found you before I drift away

Interlude: D9

Verse 3:
D9
Now you still speak of day old hate
D9
Though your whole world has gone up into flames
D9
And isn’t it great to find that you’re really worth nothing
D9
And how safe it is to feel safe

Chorus:
D           
So drown me, if you can
Cadd9
Or we could just have conversation
D
and I fall, I fall, I fall down
CMaj7
But I found you before I drift away

Interlude: D9
                     [sing over with doo, doo, doo's]

D9
The things we do just to stay alive
D9
The things we do just to stay alive
D9
The things we do just to stay alive
CMaj7
