[Intro]
C#


[Verse 1]
C#
  You're underwater but
you're not drowning
The river is flooding the
E           G
whole city around you
C#
  It could be better
it could be worse
You've learned to live
          E          G
with this midwestern curse


[Verse 2]
C#
  And all your friends

don't really know you

Or all the fucked up
      E
scary thoughts that
          G
keeps you going
C#
  And they don't know

that your homelife

is a joke Does everybody
           E         G
have their neck in a yoke?


[Refrain 1]
G#
Yes the answer is yes
But we can fool
each other sometimes
F#
Yeah the answer is yes
           G#
But we can help each
other sometimes

 C#             G#

guesses Stop cleaning
   G#          F#
