D Bm A (x2) 

verse 1 
D                       Bm                   A 
  All the books I never finished and all the songs I skip 
D                     Bm            A            D  Bm A D Bm A 
  Everything I try to hold on but I let it slip away 

Refrain 1 
G                         A 
  Now I say sorry like my mother 
G                            A 
  I try to swim I'm treading water 
G                         A 
  Now I say sorry like my mother 
G                            A 
  I try to swim I'm treading water 

       D             Bm            A 
And it takes more to put me back together 
       D                  Bm            A 
And it takes more than it does to fall apart 
       D             Bm            A 
And it takes more to put me back together 
       D                  Bm            A 
And it takes more than it does to fall apart 
       Bm             A 
And to finish what I start

D                           Bm                A

D                           Bm              A          D Bm A D Bm A 
  For everything I tried to hold on but I'm losing grip

  I try to swim I'm treading water 
G                         A

  I try to swim I'm treading water
