• Capo on 4th

🎸 Intro:

D    Am7      G    D


🎸 Verse 1:
D                                  Am7
  In the school yard when I was a kid
                      G
I gave everyone my address
Said come on over
    D                         Am7
And it turns out that nobody did
                         G
Swimming alone's how I spent my eighth birthday
     D                          Am7
And sometimes it feels like I never got out of the water
   G                                         D
I never got out of the water even though I did

🎸 Chorus:
D                           Am7
Sometimes it feels like everyone’s looking at the surface
     G
And it's not happening on purpose
             F                  Em
But they're taking things for granted again

🎸 Interlude:
D    Am7      G    D






🎸 Verse 2:
D                            Am7
  I’m learning to write my wrongs
                               G                       D
And speak up when I feel like I'm not being listened to
                           Am7
But some story entered my bones
                              G
When I was far too young to know not to listen to
 D
What people say
          Am7
'Cause everybody's feeling the pressure
       G                                      D
Of a world that keeps trying to end us everyday

🎸 Chorus:
D                           Am7
Sometimes it feels like everyone’s looking at the surface
     G
And it's not happening on purpose
             F                  Em
But they're taking things for granted again

🎸 Interlude:
D    Am7      G    D

D    Am7      G    D


🎸 Outro:
D                           Am7
Sometimes it feels like I never got out of the water
   G                                         D
I never got out of the water even though I did
D                           Am7
Sometimes it feels like I never got out of the water
   G                                         D
I never got out of the water even though I did
D                              Am7
Sometimes it feels like this world's got nothing for me
          G                                 D
Getting blank stares in return for what I give
D                            Am7
Sometimes I feel a thousand eyes looking down at the surface
              G
And they’re watching me drown on purpose
             F                  Em         D
Oh, they’re taking things for granted again
