This 'Swimming Pool' by the Front Bottoms. [Verse 1]
C#5                    A5             B5          
There's comfort in the bottom of a swimming pool 

E                      A5
I'm holding my breath for you 

C#5                                     A5                B5       
There's no doubt in my mind that if you could then you would try 

E                            A5
To crack my ribcage open and pull my heart right through
Interlude: C#5, A5, B5 (x3)
C#5                    A5             B5          
There's comfort in the bottom of a swimming pool 

E                     A5
I'm holding my breath for you 

C#5                                     A5                B5       E
There's no doubt in my mind that if you could then you would try 

                         A5
To crack my ribcage open and pull my heart right through
[Chorus]
F#5                    G#5        A5          E5
But I'm a creature of a culture that I create 

F#5                     G#5     A5
I'm the last one on the dance floor 

E5
As the chandelier gives way 

         F#5
And I am permanently 

  G#5                 A5
Preoccupied with your past 

      F#5         G#5     A5    E5 
I've been around long enough now
To know that the good things never last
                (C#5)
They never last.
(Last) Interlude: C#5, A5, B5 (x2) [Verse 2]
C#5                    A5             B5           
There's comfort in the silence of a living room 

E              A5
The TV is on for you 

C#5                      A5              B5
Hide in your basement while your house burns down
(No Chords) Your teeth are loose inside of your gums (No Chords) They will eventually fall out
C#5          A5      B5                    E           A5
Follow an orange extension cord under a carpet, to a closet door 

            C#5                      A5         B5
Feeding the black light that will someday make me very, very, very, very, 

      A5
very rich.
[Chorus]
F#5                      G#5        A5          E5
But I'm a creature of a culture that I create 

F#5                     G#5     A5
I'm the last one on the dance floor 

E5
As the chandelier gives way 

         F#5
And I am permanently 

  G#5                 A5
Preoccupied with your past 

           F#5              G#5      
I've been around long enough now 

   A5                   E        
To know that the good things never last 

                (C#5)
They never last.
Interlude: E*, Eb*, C#5, B5 (x2) [Bridge]
E*            Eb*        C#5
How low is your self esteem 

    B5                E*       C#5
And how low could it possibly be? 

   E*                 Eb* 
I know, I know you're in love with me 

     C#5              B5
And I've been ignoring you
Interlude: B5, C#5, Eb5, E5 (Repeat) [Outro]
           B5     C#5       Eb5        E5
I will stop cutting my pants into shorts 

    B5        C#5           Eb5         E5 
I will address the issues I cannot ignore 

       B5          C#5           Eb5         E5 
And I will do the things I think you might like 

           B5   C#5      Eb5         E5 
And I will be alone probably the rest of my life 

       C#5                                A5
There's comfort in the bottom of a swimming pool.
