[Verse]
BFirst thought, heard it all before
C BNot gonna get far with an attitude like that
CIt's hard to break a habit when its just so comfortable
B C And I don't know anybody round here.
BI sincerely hope to settle in.
CLet's not, make a big deal about it
 
[Pre Chorus]
B They say make hay while the sun shines
C But sometimes I wanna just lay around
B C Read a book, eventually forget about everything
 
[Chorus]
B CI'm in over my head, yeah, I'm over my head
B CI'm in over my head, yeah, I'm over my head
 
[Verse]
BAnd I know I got a sensitive heart
CI'm always picking it apart when I throw it to the vultures
B C They don't want it either, probably too sincere
 
[Pre Chorus]
B And up here above the clouds and the crowds
CFloating on the outside looking in
B CIt seems like everybody's struggling
BYou're either drowining in the deepest sea
C B Or drowing in the kitchen sink...
CEither way it all feels like drowning.
 
[Chorus]
B CI'm in over my head, yeah, I'm over my head
B CI'm in over my head, yeah, I'm over my head
B CI'm in over my head, yeah, I'm over my head
B CI'm in over my head, yeah, I'm over my head
 
[Bridge]
BI'm looking forward to some brighter days
CCause I like the way
GmThat the shadows are falling across the trees
BAnd I sure could use just a couple degrees more
B CAnd I'm doing fine, but my brain feels fried
GmMaybe you were right
BI'm watching too much TV every night
B CAnd by the way, I just wanna say
GmYeah, you know those words don't come easy to me
BSo I'm looking for a little leniency
 
[Outro]
B COoh, yeah, ooh
Gm BAnd I write it down on the back of my hand coz I'm afraid that I won't remember
B COoh, yeah, ooh
Gm BAnd I learn to breathe again, and then when it's over, it'll be a new day there singing
B COoh, yeah, ooh
Gm BAnd I learn to breathe again and then when it's over, it'll be a new day they're singing
B COoh, yeah, ooh
Gm BAnd I learn to breathe again, and then when it's over, it'll be a new
B C Gm B B C Gm Bday
