Treading Water

	  		
Am                           C 
My heart just sank the moment I saw you 
G                          D 
You're the image of a girl that I used to know 
Am                                C 
Don't be alarmed if it seems hard for me to explain 
G                             D 
But every detail of your face makes me recall her name 
Am          C     G       D 
   Treading water, I keep treading water 

           Am             C             G      D 
Maybe it's another chance to mug myself again 
           Am             C 
Maybe it's another chance 
                          G                    D 
I'm sure I'll fuck things up in the same way 
           Am             C             G      D 
Maybe it's another chance to mug myself again 

Can you forgive the things I do that I can't amend 
Nor the way I yearn for her, I hope you can pretend 
Girl, you're a fire and you'll find that I want to get burned 
No matter what you can teach me I'm sure I'll never learn 
Treading water, I keep treading water 

Maybe it's another chance to mug myself again 
Maybe it's another chance 
I'm sure I'll fuck things up in the same way 
Maybe it's another chance to mug myself again 

      Am            C      
If my concentration seems spread too thin 
G                     D 
And when you speak my eyes glaze over 
    Am         C             G          D 
I'm sorry girl, it's not you, it's her 

And you're another chance to mug myself again. 
Maybe you're another chance 
I'm sure I'll fuck things up in the same way 
Maybe it's another chance to mug myself again
