Capo on the second fret
C
Intro:
C G C F
Your love is like finger nails on a chalkboard
C G C F
Your love is like throwing myself overboard
C G
A breakdown on a motorway
Am F
A heart attack on Christmas day
D
Like scaling a cliff then falling off
F
Like trying not to cough
F E
And I didn’t see this one coming, now I’m in too deep
F E
I didn’t see this one coming, now I’m in too deep
F C
I think I’ll just keep swimming down, down, down
F C
There’s no point in trying to turn back now
Dm Em
I’m drowned
F G
I’m drowned
C G C F
Your love is like sand inside a bathing suit
C G C F
Your love is a symphony with the sound on mute
C G
A letter to the wrong address
Am F
Or red wine on a wedding dress
D
Like broken bones in my playing hand
F
Like trying to swallow sand
F E
And I didn’t see this one coming, now I’m in too deep
F E
I didn’t see this one coming, now I’m in too deep
F C
I think I’ll just keep swimming down, down, down
F C
There’s no point in trying to reach dry ground
Dm Em
I’m drowned
F G
I’m drowned
C G C F
Your love is like one last breath of salty air
C G C F
Your love is like a map that leads to nowhere
C G
A wine glass on a concrete floor
Am F
The overuse of metaphor
D
The straight ahead in a sideways glance
F
Like the misstep in a dance
F E
And I didn’t see this one coming, now I’m in too deep
F E
I didn’t see this one coming, now I’m in too deep
F C
I think I’ll just keep swimming down
F C
There’s no point in turning 'round
Dm Em
I’m drowned
F C
I’m drowned
