Bm                     A                   D
showers pounding out a new beat I trade my old shoes for new feet

                 Bm                A             D
I grab a new seat I don't like the one I got the fabric's wearing through 
                    Bm A D
and it's wearing me out
                  Bm A D
you're wearing me down
Bm               A                  D
watching old baseball games and low budget telethons
           Bm               A         D
ain't like watching you yourself when you yourself is on
Bm          A         D
got time to wander to waste and to whine
            Bm              A                 D
but when it comes to you it seems like I just can't find the time
Bm            A                       D
so watch your head and then watch the ground
       Bm                     A                      D
it's a silly time to learn to swim when you start to drown
       Bm                     A               D
it's a silly time to learn to swim on the way down

G                Bm     A                     Bm
if I gave you my number would it still be the same
G                         Bm       A                          Bm
if I, if I saved you from drowning promise me you'll never go away
    G                 A      D
oh, promise me you'll always stay

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

if I gave you my number would it still be the same
if I, if I saved you from drowning promise me you'll never go away
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

if I gave you my number would it still be the same
if I, if I saved you from drowning promise me you'll never go away
oh if I

if I gave you my number would it still be the same
if I, if I saved you from drowning promise me you'll never go away
oh, promise me you'll always stay
promise me you'll always stay
