[ verse 1 ]
G C G
she goes down fast and comes up slow ,
( G ) C D
gets in high and goes out low ,
C D Em
turns up late or doesn’t show ,
G C D G
she spends all her cash on letting go .

[ verse 2 ]
i’m never early , i’m never late ,
i’m in at 5 and out at 8 ,
running just to keep the pace ,
when i’m tired i put on my bravest face .

G C Em C
the sign said “go slow” ,
G C Em C D
and lord knows how i tried to follow ,
C G C Em C
such a hard case with a soft face ,
G C
you gave me one taste ,
Em C D C
now look at the shape i’m in .

[ verse 3 ]
i love her but i like you too ,
my worst nightmare just came true ,
we might be done but we’re not through ,
so drag me down just like you used to do .

[ chorus ]

[ verse 4 ]
with the morning comes the the sun ,
the light of day just had to come ,
now i know you’re not the one ,
should feel bad but baby we had fun .

[ chorus ]

[ bridge ]
Dm Am
hold me down under the sea ,
Dm Am G C
drag me back to where we used to be .
