[INTRO]
 
F# C#m B F#
 
[VERSE ONE]
F# C#m In the school yard when I was a kid
B I gave everyone my address
B F# Said come on over
F# C#m And it turns out that nobody did
B Swimming alone's how I spent my eighth birthday
F# C#m And sometimes it feels like I never got out of the water
B F# I never got out of the water even though I did
 
 
[CHORUS]
F# C#m Sometimes it feels like everyone’s looking at the surface
B And it's not happening on purpose
E F# C#m B But they're taking things for granted again
 
[VERSE TWO]
F# C#m I’m learning to write my wrongs
C#m B F# And speak up when I feel like I'm not being listened to
C#m But some story entered my bones
B When I was far too young to know not to listen to
F# What people say
C#m 'Cause everybody's feeling the pressure
B F# Of a world that keeps trying to end us everyday
 
 
[CHORUS]
F# C#m Sometimes it feels like everyone’s looking at the surface
B And it's not happening on purpose
E F# C#m B But they're taking things for granted again
 
[INSTRUMENTAL]
 
F# C#m B F# x2 .
 
[OUTRO]
F# C#m Sometimes it feels like I never got out of the water
B F# I never got out of the water even though I did
F# C#m Sometimes it feels like I never got out of the water
B F# I never got out of the water even though I did
F# C#m Sometimes it feels like this world's got nothing for me
B F# Getting blank stares in return for what I give
F# C#m Sometimes I feel a thousand eyes looking down at the surface
B And they’re watching me drown on purpose
 
Oh, they’re taking things for granted again
