Intro:

C majorC E minorEm G+G D MajorD



Hook:
C majorC            E minorEm
Memorize the bathwater, memorize the air
G+G                D MajorD
There'll come a time I'll wanna know when I was here
C majorC            E minorEm
Names on the doorframes, inches and ages
G+G             D MajorD
Handprints in concrete at the softest stages
C majorC      E minorEm     G+G   D MajorD
I don't know why I don't try harder
C majorC       G+G     D MajorD
I feel like throwin' towels into water

Verse :
C majorC            G/BG/B
Get it down to nothin', everything that matters
D/AD/A
Fever flashes, eyelashes and traffic patterns
C majorC          E minorEm
Humidity, history, chemistry and panic
G+G             D MajorD
Swimsuits in the windows of electric minivans
C majorC      E minorEm     G+G   D MajorD
I don't know why I don't try harder
C majorC         E minorEm      G+G     D MajorD
I've been goin' down some, some strange water

Pre-chorus:
       C majorC          E minorEm
Move forward now, there's nothin' to do
      G+G         D MajorD
Can't turn around
I can't follow you
C majorC             G/BG/B
Your coat's in my car
I guess you forgot
D/AD/A
It's crazy, the things we let go of

Chorus:
      C majorC         G/BG/B
It finally hits me, a mile's drive
      D/AD/A
The sky is leaking, the windshield's crying
      C majorC          G/BG/B
I'm feelin' sacred, my soul is stripped
      D/AD/A
Radio's painful, the words are clipped
       C majorC         G/BG/B
The grief it gets me, the weird goodbyes
      D/AD/A
My car is creepin'
I think it's dyin'
      C majorC       G/BG/B
I'm pullin' over until it heals
      D/AD/A
I'm on a shoulder of lemon fields

Bridge:
A minorAm E minorEm G+G D MajorD

A minorAm       E minorEm
What was I even leavin' for?
G+G      D MajorD
I keep goin' back and forth
A minorAm       E minorEm
I think now I'm about to see
G+G        D MajorD   D MajorD
Didn't know how sad it'd be
