Em                     F#m11/E
Look at this, it's me, walking away

Look at you drowning, on display

Em                          F#m11/E
Every time I've dropped by, I've tried to say

Dsus2
The water is rising

    C
You don't want to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
          Em                   F#m11/C#                Dsus2

You might as well say it

I see it, I feel it

This town is going wrong

     C        Am
It's turning away

You wanted me to be someone that I could never be

G                  Bbsus2   C
My new friends are offering things I've never dreamed

     G
It's beautiful

    Bbsus2           C       Bbsus2  Am
I'd like for them to take me on
[Verse 2]
    Em
The track mall gang went off

       F#m11/E
On the Tennessee goth

  Dsus2
A lunar moth-

     C
-You chrysalis and flail

    Em                   F#m11/E
The water is rising, you try to rappel

A rousing cheer for the boy in the well

Em
Here is where I look back

F#m11/E
Here is where you fell

Dsus2
This is where I got up

C
Shaking off my tail

Em
This is where your rope trick

F#m11/E
Started to look stale

  Dsus2                  C          Am
A Greyhound Pass for the boy in the well
