Bm A D Showers pounding out a new beat I trade my old shoes for new feet Bm A D I grab a new seat I don't like the one I got the fabric's wearing through Bm A D and it's wearing me out Bm A D you're wearing me down Bm A D watching old baseball games and low budget telethons Bm A D ain't like watching you yourself when you yourself is on Bm A D got time to wander to waste and to whine Bm A D but when it comes to you it seems like I just can't find the time Bm A D so watch your head and then watch the ground Bm A D it's a silly time to learn to swim when you start to drown Bm A D it's a silly time to learn to swim on the way down G Bm A Bm if I gave you my number would it still be the same G Bm A Bm if I, if I saved you from drowning promise me you'll never go away G A D oh, promise me you'll always stay closed down the last local zoo I'm gonna win the endless war over who kills the last koala bear and who in death will love him more and I he grabs me by the hand drags me to the shore and says maybe you don't love me but you'll grow to love me even more and I, I, well I'm not surprised if I gave you my number would it still be the same if I, if I saved you from drowning promise me you'll never go away oh, promise me you'll always stay showers pounding out a new beat I trade my old shoes for new feet I grab a new seat I don't like the one I got the fabric's wearing through and it's wearing me out you're wearing me down, oh oh you're wearing me down, oh oh so watch your head and then watch the ground it's a silly time to learn to swim when you start to drown it's a silly time to learn to swim when you start to drown if I gave you my number would it still be the same if I, if I saved you from drowning promise me you'll never go away oh if I if I gave you my number would it still be the same if I, if I saved you from drowning promise me you'll never go away oh, promise me you'll always stay promise me you'll always stay
