C#m* C#m/C C#m/B C#m/C x2 [Verse 1]

C#m*             C#m/C
Self loathing is quaint

    C#m/B               C#m/C
You told me showing restraint

           C#m*
Now you're gone and I'm lost

       C#m/C
In the swells I am tossed

C#m/B                                           C#m/A#
Bobbing and choking and losing the fight in the fog

            F#            F#m
You said forever, tell me why can't you stay (oooh)

[Chorus]

    E            G#         C#m
I'd ride in your pocket all day

    A            E            G#            C#m
But I just don't fit, say the word and I'll change

    A                  E
I'm throwing a party tonight, I drink

G#          C#m       A
more than a sailor on shore, pour the

E         C#m           G#
rum in my eyes, tell me lies

[Interlude]

C#m       C#m/C
Oh, oh oh oh

C#m/B     C#m/C
Oh, oh oh oh

[Verse 2]

C#m*             C#m/C
Drunk since Saturday

    C#m/B                C#m/C
Without you, without restraint (Ahhh)

         C#m*
It still stings where you stung

      C#m/C
Water swings in my lungs

    C#m/B                                           C#m/A#
I'm starving for words that would ration my sadness away

           F#                   F#m
Tell me forever, tell me you'll come back to stay

[Chorus]

    E            G#         C#m
I'd ride in your pocket all day

    A            E            G#            C#m
But I just don't fit, say the word and I'll change

    A                  E
I'm throwing a party tonight, I drink

G#          C#m       A
more than a sailor on shore, pour the

E         C#m           G#
rum in my eyes, tell me lies

[Bridge]

C#m A*       E           G#
You were the mermaid for me

C#m  A*       E              G#
Till one day, you found your feet leaving

A*                            Am
me in the God-awful bottle, a model of heartache and grief (oooo)

[Chorus]

    E            G#         C#m
I'd ride in your pocket all day

    A            E            G#            C#m
But I just don't fit, say the word and I'll change

    A                  E
I'm throwing a party tonight, I drink

G#          C#m       A
more than a sailor on shore, pour the

E         C#m           G#
rum in my eyes, tell me lies
