The chords look difficult if you're a beginner, but it's actually very easy to play this
That's why I like to play it this way. Most important is the strumming patterns which
can adjust how you like. Good luck.
[Verse]
Em7 F#/Dsus4 G
showers pounding out a new beat I trade my old shoes for new feet
Em7 F#/Dsus4 G
I grab a new seat I don't like the one I got the fabric's wearing through
Em7 F#/Dsus4 G
and it's wearing me out
Em7 F#/Dsus4 G
you're wearing me down
Em7 F#/Dsus4 G
watching old baseball games and low budget telethons
Em7 F#/Dsus4 G
ain't like watching you yourself when you yourself is on
Em7 F#/Dsus4 G
got time to wander to waste and to whine
Em7 F#/Dsus4 G
but when it comes to you it seems like I just can't find the time
Em7 F#/Dsus4 G
So watch your head and then watch the ground
Em7 F#/Dsus4 G
it's a silly time to learn to swim when you start to drown
Em7 F#/Dsus4 G
it's a silly time to learn to swim on the way down
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G Em7 F#/Dsus4 G
if I gave you my number would it still be the same
Cadd9 G Em7 F#/Dsus4 G
if I, if I saved you from drowning promise me you'll never go away
Cadd9 F#/Dsus4 G
oh, promise me you'll always stay
[Verse]
closed down the last local zoo
I'm gonna win the endless war
over who kills the last koala bear
and who in death will love him more and I
he grabs me by the hand
drags me to the shore and says
maybe you don't love me
but you'll grow to love me even more
and I, I, well I'm not surprised
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G Em7 F#/Dsus4 G
if I gave you my number would it still be the same
Cadd9 G Em7 F#/Dsus4 G
if I, if I saved you from drowning promise me you'll never go away
Cadd9 F#/Dsus4 G
oh, promise me you'll always stay
showers pounding out a new beat
I trade my old shoes for new feet
I grab a new seat I don't like the one I got
the fabric's wearing through
and it's wearing me out
you're wearing me down, oh oh
you're wearing me down, oh oh
so watch your head and then watch the ground
it's a silly time to learn to swim when you start to drown
it's a silly time to learn to swim when you start to drown
[Chorus] x2
Cadd9 G Em7 F#/Dsus4 G
if I gave you my number would it still be the same
Cadd9 G Em7 F#/Dsus4 G
if I, if I saved you from drowning promise me you'll never go away
Cadd9 F#/Dsus4 G
oh, promise me you'll always stay
