[Verse 1] 
I'm Csad about the messages you're Gsending
I'm Csad about the shit we're doing Emwrong
I'm Amsad about the never-ending lGove we're Fin
We kCeep pissing on the fGire, but it keFeps burning so strong
Can we Amboth just say "I lGove you," and get Fit on?
[Verse 2]
Your bCoy from Birmingham seems nGice enough to me
But unCqualified for you, and your heEmavy vibe
He doesn't kAmnow the troubled story that he's wriGtten himself iFnto
CHe doesn't know he's just a plGace for you to hFide
You oughta tAmell him "Best of luGck, man
Roll D7tide"
[Chorus 1]
Roll tCideF  
It can't be eGasier to sCwim, when the wFater's high
Roll tCideF  
When wGhat we want the mCost has us terFrified
Roll AmtideD7  
If we dFon't want to let Cgo, then we hGave to fight
Roll tCide F  
Roll tCideF  
[Verse 3]
I'm asCking now for reconcilGiation
I'm aCsking now for what we have to Emsay
I'm aAmsking now for both of us to dGo a little chaFnging
I wanna dCance with you fGorever, in this Fquantum cabaret
If we juAmst allow ourseGlves, it'll be Fokay
[Verse 4]
I cClose my eyes sometimes, now, when I'm dGriving
To Cfeel the lack of distance between our sEmides
To Amsee the orange and purple glow of oGur two flamFes
To Ctake my weary sGelf out for a rFide
To tAmell myself, "Hang Gin, man
Roll tD7ide"
[Chorus 2]
Roll tCideF  
It can't be eGasier to sCwim, when the wFater's high
Roll tCideF  
When wGhat we want the mCost has us terFrified
Roll AmtideD7  
If we dFon't want to let Cgo, then we hGave to fight
And if Fwe can't let Cgo, then we Ghave to try
Roll tCide F  
Roll tCideF
