Key: Db

Intro:

C Em G D




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

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

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

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

Bridge:
Am Em G D

Am       Em
What was I even leavin' for?
G      D
I keep goin' back and forth
Am       Em
I think now I'm about to see
G        D   D
Didn't know how sad it'd be

I don't know why I don't try harder
C      Em    G     D
I feel like throwin' towels into water
