A E/G# F#m E Brian apparently only plays two string power chords (EA), even on an acoustic... This way is better (imho), providing you can hit the E/G#. [Chorus]
       A       E/G#  F#m         E        A    E/G#       F#m    E
'Cause you are water twelve feet deep and I am boots made of concrete

               A                          E/G#
I'll wear cool clothes, you can show some skin,

          F#m                   E
Flash our fakes, we'll both get in

          A                 E/G#
Now we're dancing, we're so drunk

          F#m           E
We are so cool, we are so punk

    D                                  A  E/G#  F#m  E
And yes, we can keep living like this.

   D                                          A  E/G#  F#m  E
As long as you're here I will live like this.
[Verse]
E
Since when did...

                  F#m               D          A
Since when did "I wanna hear your voice" not become a good excuse?

        F#m               D                A
Calling you three in the morning, laugh at sleep that we'll both lose

      F#m                   D              A
Maybe college will not work out, and I can come sleep on your couch

       F#m            D                A
I'm supposed to be at class now but my roommate just passed out

         F#m           D                A
And I cannot get in my room, get all my books and what I need

             F#m           D                A
You're all I need but I am pretty sure your parents will never see

               F#m   D               A
So I'll let it be,     'cause it was never meant to be

            F#m   D   A
I'll let it be.
[Chorus]
       A       E/G#  F#m         E        A    E/G#       F#m    E
'Cause you are water twelve feet deep and I am boots made of concrete

               A                          E/G#

I get left out...

                  F#m                 D
I get left out of every plan they make

        A
That is what I have to do

          F#m           D                  A
To be the only kid from high school who is still in love with you

      F#m                   D              A
Maybe college will not work out, and I can come sleep on your couch

       F#m            D                A
I'm supposed to be at class now but my roommate just passed out

         F#m           D                A

I'll let it be.

'Cause you are water twelve feet deep and I, I am boots, I am made of concrete
