verse 1
D D
this place is dragging me down
Bm F#m G A E
a hamster wheel , i thought i’d be done by now
D D
now that all my allies are gone
Bm F#m G A E E
i realize advancing could hold you back

chorus
B D F#m G A A# B
my good intentions just keep sliding by the wayside
G D F#m G A C# D
but its high tide and they get washed away with time
B G B G
until everything’s gone , until everything’s gone

repeat intro x2

verse 2
D D
i was flying along the long island sound
Bm F#m G A E
but fine’s polite i’d rather things more profound
D D
i’ve become a rock these days and i swim like one
Bm F#m G A E E
alone again , barely surviving the tidal wave

B D F#m G A A# B
my good intentions just keep sliding by the wayside
G D F#m G A C# D
but its high tide and they get washed away with time
B G B G
until everything’s gone , until everything’s gone

F#m G A
i swear , damn it all to hell , damn it all to hell

D F#m B A
i think i finally found the way to go to heaven
D F#m B A
without dying , so i’m on my way
E F#m G A
the harder you work , the harder you fall
E F#m G A
you wake up one day with nothing at all

chorus x2 muted
