it was January and you were melting
C                  Dm        
while the rainfall turned to snow
    Am                G
and you were thinking of the end

all the bitterness and misplaced rage

that weight you feel

it will leave with me

if you let me go
       Am         (G)  Am
no one will remember

Am G C Dm

and you can't make it on your own
              C           Dm
but you don't want anyone else
          Am                G
so you'll go down with this sinking ship

and let the ocean fill your lungs

             Am
she said the water's fine
          G                  C

in case it took more then one
                      Em
but you know it never does
                       Am
it only ever takes one shot
        C    (G)    Am
and you took it
