Verse 1:
           E*
So tell me why

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

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

Verse 2:
                E*
So tell me why
                                       B
If I'm as bad as all those things you call me every night
                                         A
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#m
    I think I'll pass on the summer
A
    Ain't gonna work for me this time
E
    I'm drowning, drowning, drowning down
C#m
    And yeah I might miss your mother
A
    But she knows what's best when you're
E
    Drowning, drowning, drowning down
B                             A
    There's nothing left to do
                  B                 E
    But let the waves crash over you

And we're still taking time
                                      A
Out of our busy lives just to fuck around
                                   N.C.
Spewing words we both could live without
