The Drowning Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Ab]
[G][Ab][G]

[Verse 1]
Up for three [G]days
Up for three [Ab]days
Down under ground for six [G]more
Incisions cannot penetrate my [Ab]feet
Tripping, gliding, falling [G]numbly
Hands held together with
unwanted [Ab]skin

[Interlude 1]
Ripping, hiding calling dumbly
[G][Ab][G]

[Verse 2]
You, in [G]houses of mud
[F]You, in gut[Eb]ter sleep-love
[G]You, You,
born to slaughter-swathed gloves
[F]gloves
You [Eb]dressing daughters and [D]sons[F]
Like [Eb]you, I am broken and fra[G]gile
Like [F]you, I am [Eb]tasting my
heart for the [G]first time
Like [Ab]you, I am feeding on slumber
Like [G]you, I've left my eyes far behind me
[Ab]Down for the count I'm still drown[G]ing
I'm still drowning
[Ab][G]

[Verse 3]
The eighth [Ab]day
Sleep, the eighth [G]day
Clawed my way back to the [Ab]first[G]
No gentle fingers collapse
on my [Ab]eyes
Weeping, prying, struggling [G]blindly
There's no sanity standing me
[Ab]back on my feet

[Interlude 2]
[Ab][G][Ab][G]

[Verse 4]
I'm in an [G]empty room
[F]I'm burning boo[Eb]ks from you[G]
I'm lost in bed with [F]you
Breaking these [Eb]mirrors to
end all I've [D]seen

[Verse 5]
[F]
[Eb]Like you, I am broken and [G]fragile
Like [F]you, I am [Eb]tasting my
heart for the [G]first time
Like [Ab]you, I am feeding on slumber
Like [G]you, I've left my eyes far behind me
[Ab]Down for the count I'm
still [G]drowning
I'm still drowning
[Ab][G]

[Verse 6]
I'm still [Ab]drowning

[Outro 1]
[Ab][G][G][G]
