[Verse]
D#m7       F#/A#         B
I’m circling the drain

D            D#m7         F#/A#
with all my problems in hand

             G#                    D#m7
Well I gotta pretty good hand I’d say

     C#/F        F#               B
But these new caskets crack the same

      D#m7        F#/A#           B    D
The first few stones are the worst

      D#m7       F#/A#
They fall in unnoticed

     G#                             D#m7
And scare you for more than they’re worth

    C#/F    F#               B
And all at once you will not hear your own words
[Instrumental] F# B x 3 G# B [Verse]
D#m7     F#/A#         B                   D
Closet weather at best and you’re a victim

D#m7            F#/A#         G#
You say we’re all in the basket

             D#m7
But oh it’s so fun

  F#/A#         F#                B
To remind us over and over again

D#m7       F#/A#        B                 D    D#m7
Time’s a wasting so now I must be leaving

              F#/A#
I’m crawling outside

        G#
In the same way that I creeped in

D#m7      F#/A#        F#                        B
And the rain falls down and it’s heavy on my eye lids
Pulled to the ground down the fucking drain [Chorus]
F#                    B
Maybe it’s just my luck

    F#                  B
But I got a spotless record

F#                     B
Maybe it’s harder to stay

        G#                        B    F#
And we got it all wrong from the start

F#                     B
Maybe it’s all in the cards

   F#                  B
Or just an excuse for playing

D#m7                    Daug
Maybe it’s all in our hearts

         F#/C#               B
Maybe I don’t know what I’m saying
Cdim B [Instrumental] D#m7 F#/A# B D D#m7 F#/A# G# D#m7 C#/F F# B [Verse]
D#m7      F#/A#         B
I’m circling the drain

D         D#m7           F#/A#
But I’m picking these bones up

      G#                            D#m7
Cause man, they don’t live there today

    C#/F      F#                   B
And I don’t want to hear the fibers crack

                            D#m7         F#/A#
Cause God knows I’d rather die than be dying

             B            D        D#m7        D#m7
It’s not a cliché, no sir it is a logical preference

             G#                     D#m7
Because the way things were this year

       F#/A#        F#                  B
Makes me think how good it all could be
and how well it could end [Chorus]
F#                    B
Maybe it’s just my luck

    F#                  B
But I got a spotless record

F#                     B
Maybe it’s harder to stay

        G#                        B    F#
And we got it all wrong from the start

F#                     B
Maybe it’s all in the cards

   F#                  B
Or just an excuse for playing

D#m7                    Daug
Maybe it’s all in our hearts

         F#/C#               B
Maybe I don’t know what I’m saying

         Cdim        B
But I'm saying it anyway
