G                    G
  Look what I built, isn't it beautiful?
C                            G
  Let's burn the whole thing down.
C                        G
  It's hard enough tryna keep it up,
    Em                   D
I'd rather put it in the ground.
G               G
  What a way to finish a chapter,
C                       G
  let's kill the author too.
C                            G
  If we're all pages and the book is unwritten then
Em                      D*
shouldn't we be able to choose what's in it?

[Pre-Chorus]
  C                          Cm
I just wanna start something I can finish.

[Chorus]
G         Em                D
  Keep my days from getting darker,
G         Em             C
  pull my head above the water.
G         Em               D
  Hold me close until it's over,
Am        D
  pull my head above the water.

[Verse 2]
G                  G
  I thought I knew all that I needed to,
C                        G
  turns out I don't know shit.
C                        G
  I put my problems in a box for later but
Em                      D
I've forgotten where it is.
    G                   G
So,   why are you here? Why are you listening?
C                      G
  I don't have much to say.
   C                     Em
No clever revelation, no melody is changing,
    Am                       D*
the fact that I got bills to pay. Can you help?

[Chorus]
G         Em                D
  Keep my days from getting darker,
G         Em             C
  pull my head above the water.
G         Em               D
  Hold me close until it's over,
Am        D
  pull my head above the water.

[Bridge]
(G)              (Em)
I may not be the same when you pull me up
(G)              (Em)
I may not be the same.
G                       Em
  Swam too far past the waves, now I've seen too much
G                  Em
  I may not be the same, just promise me you'll ...

[Chorus]
G         Em                D
  Keep my days from getting darker,
G         Em             C
  pull my head above the water.
G         Em               D
  Hold me close until it's over,
Am        D*
  pull my head up.

[Chorus]
G         Em                D
  Keep my days from getting darker,
G         Em             C
  pull my head above the water.
G         Em               D
  Hold me close until it's over,
Am        D
  pull my head above the water.

[Outro]
G         Em             D
  Pull my head above the water,
G         Em             C        N.C.
  pull my head above the water.
