[Verse]
EThis is for the Blions living in the wiry Abroke-down frames of my friends bodies.
EWhen the flood water comBes, it ain't gonna be clAear, it’s gonna look like mud.
G#mBut I will help Ayou swim.
G#mI will help you Aswim.
I'm gonna help you swim.E  
[Verse]
EThis is for the Bsnakes and the people they bite;A  
For the friends I’ve made; for the sleepless nights;
EFor the warning signs I’Bve completely ignored.A  
There’s an amount to take, reasons to take more.
[Pre-Chorus]
G#mIt's no big surprise you turned out this Away.
When they close their eyG#mes and prayed you would changeA  
EAnd they cut your hair, Band sent you awayA  
You stopped by my house the night you escaped
EWith tears in my eyes, I Bbegged you to sAtay
You said, “Hey man, I love you but no fucking way”
[Chorus]
EI’m sure that we could G#mfind something for Ayou to do on F#mstage.
EMaybe shake a tambouG#mrine or when I sing, Ayou sing harmoF#mnies.
[Verse]
EThis is for the lake thaBt me and my friends swim Ain, naked and dumb on a drunken night
EAnd it should've felt goBod but I can hear the Jaws theme Asong on repeat in the back of my mind
G#mMake sure you kiAss your knuckles before you puncG#mh me in the faceA  
G#mThere are lessons to be learned, consequAences for all the stupid G#mthings I sayA  
[Pre-Chorus]
EAnd it is no big surprise you turned out Bthis way.
The sparAk in her eyes, The look on your face.
I will not be late.
[Chorus]
EI’m sure that we could G#mfind something for Ayou to do on F#mstage.
EMaybe shake a tambouG#mrine or when I sing, Ayou sing harmoF#mnies.

I wanna contEribute to the G#mchaos, I don’t wanna Awatch and then compF#mlain,
'Cause I am Ethrough finding G#mblame, that is the dAecision that I have F#mmade.
