[Verse 1]
  EI think I'll G#stay in the shoC#mwer
And Bsee how I feEel
In a cG#ouple of houC#mrs
I'm sick of Bfacing what's real
  EI sit aG#round in my rC#moom
And wait for Bnothing to do
  EI caught a G#case of bad news
C#mAnd now I feel Bpermanently
   EBlue
   G#And that's fine
  A'cause it
Don't Bmatter anyway
   EYou
   G#And I
   AWe'll sink toBgether
And Ewaste away

C#mCatching up with Breal lifeE  G#  
And Athis is what it Bfeels like
[Chorus]
  EWhen you're G#in too dAeep
Trying to Bfind your feEet
When they're G#out the wAindow
Running to BSan FranEcisco
[Verse 2]
  EI think I G#may be a coC#mward
Or Bmaybe I'm still
  EInstead of G#picking up floC#mwers
I'm throwing Bdirt in my pail
  EI sang a G#song to the mC#moon
And asked her Bwhat she would do
  EShe said my G#time would come sC#moon
If I patch my Bbrain up with some
   Eglue
   G#And that's fine
  A'cause it
Don't Bmatter anyway

[Verse 1]

E G# C#m

I think I'll stay in the shower

B E

And see how I feel

G# C#m

In a couple of hours

I'm sick of facing what's real

E G# C#m

I sit around in my room

And wait for nothing to do

E G#

I caught a case of bad news

C#m B

And now I feel permanently

Blue

And that's fine

'cause it

Don't matter anyway

You

And I

A B

We'll sink together

And waste away

[Pre-Chorus]

E G#

N.C.

So this is what it feels like

C#m B E G#

Catching up with real life

A B

And this is what it feels like

[Chorus]

E G# A

When you're in too deep

B E

Trying to find your feet

G# A

When they're out the window

B E

Running to San Francisco

[Verse 2]

E G# C#m

I think I may be a coward

Or maybe I'm still

E G# C#m

Instead of picking up flowers

I'm throwing dirt in my pail

E G# C#m

I sang a song to the moon

And asked her what she would do

E G# C#m

She said my time would come soon

If I patch my brain up with some

glue

And that's fine

'cause it

Don't matter anyway

You

And I

A B

We'll float together

In outer space

[Pre-Chorus]

E G#

N.C.

So this is what it feels like

C#m B E G#

Catching up with real life

A B

And this is what it feels like

[Chorus]

When you're in too deep

B E

Trying to find your feet

G# A

When they're out the window
