Verse 1:
D G A Em
Grocery store sushi
D G A Eb
You're chopping ketamine with a motel room key
D G A Em
Like a razor on a water slide
D G A Eb
Surgeon seeing the scalpel sewn inside
Pre-Chorus:
Em Bm G
You get past the cold spot in the lake
Em Bm G
The easy things in life keep getting harder every day
Chorus:
D G A Em
Potpourri, dead smell of a stagnant creek
D G A Eb
Cause you ran your car into a cherry blossom tree
D G A Em
Rolled the tires down the muddy hill
D G A Eb
You just keep on swimming through until
Pre-Chorus:
Em Bm G
You get past the cold spot in the lake
Em Bm G
Abundant things in life keep getting fewer every day
Solo:
Em Bm G
Em Bm G
Bridge:
Em Bm G
A street juggalo sang us a sweet song on the porch
Em D G
When we lived downtown and whoever was near would come on up
G F#m A Em Eb Em F#m
Next week, we saw her on a poster stapled to a pole
G Bm Em Eb
She'd killed a guy and left the body laying by the road
Outro:
G A F#m Em
Between broadways and the ramp, to 23, swimming through
G Em Bm G
Cause to you it's just like swimming through a cold spot in the lake
Em Bm G
And the sweetest parts of life keep getting bitter every day
