Drown

Chords

Standard

#To play in key, you will need a capo on the second fret.  
#If you choose not to use a capo, the song sounds just fine without it. 
#Although you will not be able to play along with the song.  

#In the song, you might notice that before he switches chords, there is a
#slight change in the chord.  
#You can achieve the same effect by using your little finger to hit an extra
#note on the A string while playing the chord. 
#For Em, hit fret 3; for C, hit fret 5; for G, hit fret 3; and for D, hit 
#fret 2.  (relative to the capo)

# During the chorus and intro, use the extra note.  
# During the last part, only play the chords once and let ring.  


# Intro:
Em C G D
Em C G D
# (stop the D early)

            Em                        C
Well I'm so tired of the rain falling softly on the ground,
      G                                 D
Just enough to get my feet wet but not enough to let me drown.
          Em                       C
I've been laying in my bed wishing I had never woken, 
        G                           D
Begging God to rid my head of every word you've ever spoken.
         Em                             C
Broke my knuckles on the wall because I thought about the call 
          G                                     D
Where you said you'd always love me, do you not tell the truth at all?
          Em                              C
Well if I ever cross your mind, make sure you write down the times 
   G                             D
So I will know the moments I was eating you alive.


      Em                        C                 G
Now I lay here waiting with the hope that I might find some sleep
  D         Em
I need some sleep tonight, 
                                C                             G
Cause I've been waiting on your call but I know it will never come 
      D      Em
but I'm still waiting by the phone. 


      Em
And don't you dare, don't you dare, 
G      D
Say you ever loved me or even tell me that you cared 
  Em
Cause you knew what you were doing and you know just what you've done.
    G       D
How dare you say you miss me with your spit still on his tongue!
     Em
I am broken. I am beaten. I'm mistreated and I'm torn. 
     G    D
I am cold with no direction but I'm lost without your warmth. 
   Em
I'm trying hard to find some hope that I might get the chance to breathe.
    GD
Get off my mind, give back my heart and get the fuck away from me!
 Em
I know I couldn't give you much, but I know I gave my best, 
 G  D
You were always my princess, and now he's sliding up your dress
      Em
And I know I gave the world everything I've ever had, 
       G  D                        *Stop*
Johnny Cash said love would burn, I never thought it'd hurt this bad.



            Em                        C
Well I'm so tired of the rain falling softly on the ground,
      G                                 D
Just enough to get my feet wet but not enough to let me drown.
          Em                       C
I've been laying in my bed wishing I had never woken, 
        G                           D
Begging God to rid my head of every word you've ever spoken.
         Em                             C
Broke my knuckles on the wall because I thought about the call 
          G                                     D
Where you said you'd always love me, do you not tell the truth at all?
          Em                              C
Well if I ever cross your mind, make sure you write down the times 
   G                             D
So I will know the moments I was eating you alive.


Em C G D

            Em
You are the itch that's on my back. 
            C
You are the gum under my shoe. 
            G
You are the horrors of my past. 
            D
You are the chill that haunts the room. 
            Em
You are the creaking on my steps. 
        C
You are cancer. You are plague.
          G
You are regret. You are disease.
            D
I wish that you would go away.

#Strum some D. End on C, let ring.
