Sinking And Swimming On Long Island

	  		
verse 1 

D                         D 
This place is dragging me down 
   Bm     F#m      G           A   E 
A hamster wheel I thought I'd be done by now 
D                            D 
Now that all my allies are gone 
  Bm  F#m  G         A    E            E 
I realize advancing could hold you back 

 
B    D     F#m      G         A       A#      B 
My good intentions just keep sliding by the wayside 
G    D        F#m      G        A      C#        D 
But its high tide and they get washed away with time 
      B            G           B            G 
Until everything's gone until everything's gone 


verse 2 
D                                      D 
I was flying along the Long Island sound 
       Bm      F#m    G         A       E 
But fine's polite I'd rather things more profound 
D                                                  D 
I've become a rock these days and I swim like one 
             Bm          F#m    G         A      E              E 
Alone again barely surviving the tidal wave 

B    D      F#m     G        A       A#      B 
My good intentions just keep sliding by the wayside 
G      D      F#m        G      A      C#       D 
But its high tide and they get washed away with time 
        B          G           B            G 
Until everything's gone until everything's gone 

  F#m                   G             A 
I swear damn it all to hell damn it all to hell 

  D                F#m        B            A 
I think I finally found the way to go to heaven 
        D                 F#m          B                A 
Without dying so I'm on my way 
    E          F#m       G          A 
The harder you work the harder you fall 
    E           F#m      G          A 
You wake up one day with nothing at all 

 
B    D  F#m        G         A       A#      B 
My good intentions just keep sliding by the wayside 
G    D        F#m      G         A     C#       D 
But its high tide and they get washed away with time 
      B            G           B            G 
Until everything's gone until everything's gone 
      B            G           B            G 
Until everything's gone until everything's gone 
  F#m                   G 
I swear damn it all to hell
