Verse:
          Em             Dsus2              Cmaj7  Cadd9
So let's face it this was    never what you  wanted
      Em            Dsus2  Cmaj7  Cadd9
But I know it's fun to pretend
    Em    Dsus2            Cmaj7  Cadd9
Now blank stares and empty threats
    Em  Dsus2 Cmaj7 Cadd9        Em  Dsus2 Cmaj7 Cadd9
Are all I     have,      they're all I     have.



Chorus:

   Dsus2               Cmaj7 Cadd9
So drown me and if you can
Dsus2                        Cmaj7 Cadd9
Or we could just have conver sation.
Dsus2                          Cmaj7 Cadd9
     And I fall, I fall, I fal-ter
         Dsus2                   Cmaj7 Cadd9
But I'll find you before I drift away


Solo same as the intro 



Verse:

    Em        Dsus2            Cmaj7  Cadd9
Now you still speak of day old hate
            Em         Dsus2                 Cmaj7  Cadd9
Though your whole world     has gone up into flames
    Em            Dsus2                 Cmaj7      Cadd9
And isn't it great to find that you're really worth nothing
        Em      Dsus2      Cmaj7      Cadd9
And how safe it is to feel safe.


Chorus:

Dsus2               Cmaj7 Cadd9
So drown me and if you can
Dsus2                        Cmaj7 Cadd9
Or we could just have conver sation.
Dsus2                          Cmaj7 Cadd9
     And I fall, I fall, I fal-ter
         Dsus2                     Cmaj7 Cadd9
But I'll find you before I drift away


Guitar solo and vocals



    Em        Dsus2           Cmaj7  Cadd9
The things we do just to stay alive
    Em        Dsus2           Cmaj7  Cadd9
The things we do just to stay alive
    Em        Dsus2           Cmaj7  Cadd9
The things we do just to stay alive
    Em(hold)            Dsus2 (hold)          Cmaj7 (hold)
The things we do just to     keep ourselves alive.

Sing along

So let's face it, this was never what you wanted
But I know it's fun to pretend
Now blank stares and empty threats
Are all I have
They’re all I have…

So drown me if you can
Or we could just have conversation
and I fall, I fall, I falter.
But I found you before I drift away

Now you still speak of day old hate
Though your whole world has gone up into flames
And isn’t it great to find that you’re really worth nothing
And how safe it is to feel safe

So drown me if you can
Or we could just have conversation
And I fall, I fall, I falter.
But I found you before I drift away

The things we do just to stay alive
The things we do just to stay alive
The things we do just to stay alive

The things we do just to keep ourselves alive.
