Verse 1
D D
This place is dragging me down
Bm F#m G A E
A hamster wheel, I thought I'd be done by now\
D D
Now that all my allies are gone
Bm F#m G A E E
I realize advancing could hold you back


Chorus
B D F#m G A A# B
My good intentions just keep sliding by the wayside
G D F#m G A C# D
But its high tide and they get washed away with time
B G B G
Until everything's gone, until everything's gone

Repeat Intro x2

Verse 2
D D
I was flying along the Long Island sound
Bm F#m G A E
But fine's polite I'd rather things more profound
D D
I've become a rock these days and I swim like one
Bm F#m G A E E
Alone again, barely surviving the tidal wave

B D F#m G A A# B
My good intentions just keep sliding by the wayside
G D F#m G A C# D
But its high tide and they get washed away with time
B G B G
Until everything's gone, until everything's gone

F#m G A
I swear, damn it all to hell, damn it all to hell

D F#m B A
I think I finally found the way to go to heaven
D F#m B A
Without dying, so I'm on my way
E F#m G A
The harder you work, the harder you fall
E F#m G A
You wake up one day with nothing at all
