Title: Surrey Dive
Album: Throw Me in the River
Year: 2014
Tuning: Standard, no capo
This song is much easier to play with Capo 1 but I personally prefer to play the barre chords in this tab
without a capo as I think it sounds better on acoustic guitar. Beginners who want to play it on capo 1 and don't
know how convert the chords can use the key below to change the chords throughout the song.
D# = D
Cm = Bm
A# = A
G# = G
Gm = F#m
Fm = Em
Play either the chords or the tab below wherever it says riff throughout the song

Riff x2
Verse 1:
D# Cm A#
I'm just trying to pay an insurmountable debt
D# Cm A#
Just trying to forget about my inevitable death
D# Cm A#
Chris threw up in the diner, and I was sick in the snow
Riff x1
D# Cm A#
Got a self-destructive instinct constructive summer complex
D# Cm A#
In the shadows of urban development I'll mark my footprints in wet cement
D# Cm A#
Like the first man on some kind of temporary moon
Riff x1
Chorus:
G# D# A# D#

G# D# A# D#
Before I dove in Surrey Dive
G# D# A# D#
But I---------'m coming home
G# D# Cm A#

Riff x2
Verse 2:
D# Cm A#
Can we hold on for a sec while I wipe cold sweat from my brow
D# Cm A#

Cause it's never really right
Cm Gm
But the beating and the puffing up of chests
Cm Gm
Has beaten every argument I've had tonight
Fm Gm
Come on just punch me in the face so then at least you'll think you're right
Fm Gm
Maybe you'll leave this place, lose the war and win the fight and I'm
Fm Gm
Running scared, I'm running scared, I'm running scared, I'm running scared
