I Gpulled against the tide a Dsolitary mind
There was a Embig bright moon
I was out of tune and Ctime
GPanic on the radio
DRunning with no where to go
EmCan't think in a language you don't Cknow
EmSo keep breathingG D C

[Verse 2]
GStood up in the light
A fucking Danimal inside
I've never Embeen the kind of loon that tries to Chide
GAll the ways we try to shrink aDway from all the shit that stinks
And EmI can't think
And I thought you were my Dfriend (Shuttin' up again)
[Chorus]
GWatch what you say so you don't say nothing
DChoking on your words like the cops are coming
And ya Cfeel so small like Dnothing at all
EmSince the last time saw me Gfall
I don't say anything at Dall
I don't say anything at Cadd9all
No not at Cadd9all, but I say
