[Intro] G D Am C x 2 G D Am C x 2 *whistle over [Verse 1]
C#m           C
Here's a true story

                   G
Said someone to me yesterday

                        Em
Said he'd heard it in a taxi

C#m                     C
Must have had him at my mercy

                G
Drown that poor thing

                  Em
Put it out of its misery

                  Am *
Condemn it to its future

C *
Deny its history

G
Deny its history
G/F# [Chorus]
Em              Am
So where are we going

         D                  G G/F# Em
We're not ready for drowning

Em              Am
So where are we going

         D                  G G/F# Em
We're not ready for drowning
[Verse 2]
C#m                      C
Look through my venetian blinds

                      G
Dusting the past off of my mind

              Em
Seeing orange everywhere

C#m       C
I'd go to Patagonia

                G
But it's harder there

                   Em
I'll do anything to prove I care

             Am *
Fascinated by good

            C *
Destroyed by evil

                 G
What is there to believe in
[Chorus]
Em              Am
So where are we going

         D                  G G/F# Em
We're not ready for drowning

Em              Am
So where are we going

         D                  G G/F# Em
We're not ready for drowning
[Chorus]
Em              Am
So where are we going

         D                  G G/F# Em
We're not ready for drowning

Em              Am
So where are we going

         D                  G G/F# Em
We're not wheeping we're drowning

Am     D
ooohhhh
