VERSE:
 Am              G          C
Been finding it hard to be kind
 Am              G
Since I've been lost out
        C
there, losing my mind
       Am             G
And I still keep on searching
     F
for what I can't find
        C     C C C
Let me drown
 Am          G         C
Don't wanna wash you away
Am               G
I swear there's good things
          C
that are coming your way
       Am           G
And I can't be the one left
      F
here dragging you down
        C    C C C
Let me drown
Am      G           C
  Only one knew my name
Am         G            C
  Nothing left but the summer rain
 Am       G            F
Drag me 'round 'til I never complain
        C
Let me drown

CHORUS:
F                         Am
 And then suddenly we're writing
          G
 out the same old lie
                     F
When water is all around
                   Am
Baby, I can be the one
x            G
you drown tonight
             F
Well, I had sun in my
         Am
eyes and I'd confide
      G
We're no worse off than
     F        Dm        C  F  C F
the worst of 'em, it's fi-ine

VERSE:
 Am    G              C
Never knew where was home
Am         G         C
I slept a lifetime alone
         Am          G
Yeah, we had it one time but
      F
it's gone now, it's gone
        C
Let me drown
Am           G              C
I know with pleasure comes pain
Am        G            C
I figured we were the same
    Am        G       F
But as I get older I get more afraid
        C
Let me drown
          Am   G   C
So, no I can't be kind
         Am  G   C
Since I lost my mind
          Am             Em
And this town just ain't big
                Dm         F
enough for the both of us now
        C    C
Let me drown
       Am   G   C
No, I can't be kind
         Am  G   C
Since I lost my mind
          Am              G
And this town just ain't big
                F
enough for the both of us now
        C
Let me drown
