[Intro]
D Am7 G D...............
 
[Verse 1]
D Am7..In the school yard when I was a kid
GI gave everyone my address
 
Said come on over
D Am7And it turns out that nobody did
GSwimming alone's how I spent my eighth birthday
D Am7And sometimes it feels like I never got out of the water
G DI never got out of the water even though I did
 
[Chorus]
D Am7Sometimes it feels like everyone’s looking at the surface
GAnd it's not happening on purpose
F EmBut they're taking things for granted again
 
[Interlude]
D Am7 G D...............
 
[Verse 2]
D Am7..I’m learning to write my wrongs
G DAnd speak up when I feel like I'm not being listened to
Am7But some story entered my bones
GWhen I was far too young to know not to listen to
DWhat people say
Am7'Cause everybody's feeling the pressure
G DOf a world that keeps trying to end us everyday
 
[Chorus]
D Am7Sometimes it feels like everyone’s looking at the surface
GAnd it's not happening on purpose
F EmBut they're taking things for granted again
 
[Interlude]
D Am7 G D...............
D Am7 G D...............
 
[Outro]
D Am7Sometimes it feels like I never got out of the water
G DI never got out of the water even though I did
D Am7Sometimes it feels like I never got out of the water
G DI never got out of the water even though I did
D Am7Sometimes it feels like this world's got nothing for me
G DGetting blank stares in return for what I give
D Am7Sometimes I feel a thousand eyes looking down at the surface
GAnd they’re watching me drown on purpose
F Em DOh, they’re taking things for granted again
