[Intro]
G G Em Bm
G G Em Bm D
[Verse 1]
GTangled in ropes, pulled Ginto the shore
You Emwash up all heavy, Bmtired and poor
Had a Glife made of wax Gand a house made of butter
How they Emmelted that summer, how they Bmmelted that summeGr
When the Gtide rolled out, and Gall was exposed
You Emfound yourself drowning, in Bmtruths untold
Here's a Gsand dollar to Gbuy a bus ticket home
Though a Emhundred-degree heat he Bmfelt so Gcold
[Chorus]
And Ammixing your drinks with Amholy water
Won't Gcover up sins that are Dbound to follow
And a Amlife made of wax, hAmouse made of butter
How they Gmelted that summer, how they Dmelted that summer
[Instrumental]
G G Em Bm
G G Em Bm D
[Verse 2]
Well the Gwinter came early, and the Gocean froze over
You Emthrew your belongings, Bmonto your shoulder
Stole a Gpair of boots, that could Ghandle the cold
And Emwalked out into the Bmfrozen unGknown
[Chorus]
And Ammixing your drinks with Amholy water
Won't Gcover up sins that are Dbound to follow
And a Amlife made of wax, Amhouse made of butter
How they Gmelted that summer, how they Dmelted that summer
[Instrumental]
(a little faster)
G G Em Bm
G G Em Bm
[Verse 3]
GTangled in ropes, pulled Ginto the shore
You Emwash up all heavy, Bmtired and poor
Had a Glife made of wax Gand a house made of butter
How they Emmelted that summer, how they Bmmelted that summeGr
When the Gtide rolled out, and Gall was exposed
You Emfound yourself drowning, in Bmtruths untold
Here's a Gsand dollar to Gbuy a bus ticket home
Though a Emhundred-degree heat he Bmfelt so Gcold
[Chorus]
Now mAmixing your drinks with Amholy water
Won't Gcover up sins that are Dbound to follow
And a Amlaugh made of wax, Amhouse made of butter
How they Gmelted that summer, how they Dmelted that summer
[Instrumental]
G G Em Bm
G G Em Bm D
[Verse 4]
And then Gwinter came early, and the Gocean froze over
You Emthrew your belongings, Bmonto your shoulder
Stole a Gpair of boots, that could Ghandle the cold
And Emwalked out into the Bmfrozen unGknown
Now Ammixing your drinks with hAmoly water
won't Gcover up sins that are Dbound to follow
And a Amlife made of wax, Amhouse made of butter
How they Gmelted that summer, how they Dmelted that summer
[Instrumental]
G G Em Bm
G G Em Bm D
[Outro]
GTangled in ropes, pulled Ginto the shore
You Emwash up all heavy, Bmtired and poor
Had a Glife made of wax Gand a house made of butter
How they Emmelted that summer, how they Bmmelted that summeGr
