VERSE 
 
C#m 
Drink the water drink it down 
 
This time I know I'm bound 
   G# 
To spit it back up 
F# 
I didn't want this 
C#m 
Salty substitute, just not going to do 
  G#             F# 
I need some air, if I'm going to live through 
C#m 
This experience reminds me of a clock  
     G# 
That just won't tick 
F# 
I want to wake up  
C#m 
From this concussion 
 
But my dreams just not done 
    G# 
I'm late again,  
     F#                C#m 
It's just one of those bad days 
 
Look outside and 
 
Be careful what you ride 
    G# 
You just might find  
F#                 E 
That you're out of time 
   G#      C#m 
To swim ashore 
     E          G# 
If I drift long enough 
        C#m 
I'll be home 
 
  (notice that there are two main riffs for the verse 
   the C#m, G# and F# one and the E, G# and C#m one... 
   these will be called VERSE part 1 and VERSE part 2 
   from now onwards) 
 
(repeat INTRO {x2}  
 
(guitar silent) 
He's got delusions between his ears 
Man it takes up too much space 
And all that tension between his gears man 
He'll never ever leave this place 
 
(VERSE part 1 pattern begins again play it {x2} 
 
He's got stones instead of bones 
And everybody knows 
Ah, man that can make you real real slow 
And if heaven was below 
He'd know just where to go 
Dive in the ocean 
And he'd sink like a stone 
And he'd say 
 
(VERSE part 2 now {x2} 
 
It's time to swim ashore 
If I drift long enough 
I'll be home 
 
(back to VERSE part 1 {x2}  
 
Hold on if you can 
You're gonna sink faster  
Than you can imagine so 
Hold on if you can 
You're gonna sink faster  
Than you can imagine so 
 
(VERSE part 2 again {x2}) 
 
It's just time to swim ashore 
If I drift long enough 
I'll be home
