Intro Am verse 1 Am Dsus2 If the strain proves too much Am Give up right away Dsus2 If the light hurts your eyes Am Stay in your room all dayverse 2 Dsus2 Well the blood's in the water Am And the shark's gonna come Dsus2 And we swim in the dark Am Until our bodies are numbInstrumental Am Em G D5 D5 x3 Em G (Fade in Am) verse 3 Dsus2 Empty room with a lightbulb Am Where the phone starts to ring Dsus2 Everybody gets nervous Am Nobody says anything Bridge C The next day someone's initials G Show up on the door Dsus2 I think I'm gonna crack Am Cant live like this anymoreInstrumental Outro Em G D5 D5 x3 Em G D5
