[Chorus]
DYou give with your right hand
DYou take with your left
DSubmerge me in the water
DTry to hold my breath
[Verse 1]
DMy right-hand Dholds my promise
DIt's colored a half-hearted Dwhite
BmEverybody is a Dcasket
For their Bmpromise given Dfree
Given Dfree
[Chorus]
DYou give with your right hand
DYou take with your left
DSubmerge me in the water
DTry to hold my breath
[Verse 2]
My Dleft-hand holds your Dflat head
That was Dshapen by your Dcrib
The Bmcold explores your Dbody
Whose imperBmfection makes perDfect
Makes perDfect
[Chorus]
DYou give with your right hand
DYou take with your left
DSubmerge me in the water
DTry to hold my breath
[Verse 3]
Against this Dstubborn, frustrated Driver
I yaw Dsharply, hold my Dbreath
SemaBmphoring with both Dmy hands
A perfect Bmpromise, Dimperfectly
DImperfectly
