[Verse 1]
A D
You drove me to the water
E D
And I didn't even swim

You wanted me to have some fun

And I'm sorry

I meant to I did
[Verse 2]

And it's hard to believe it's still

I wanted to be everything
E
And I will

Cause I want it still

A E
And it's alright

And nothing calms down

As hard as I try

With my feet on the ground

[Verse 3]
D D
I can't write anymore
E
I have a shadow over my door
D
And it's not kind anymore
E
It doesn't love me like before
D
And I don't cry anymore
E
Except when I do
Which is most nights
D
And I'll try not to lie anymore
E
Or call it a symptom of fight or flight
D
Wish I didn't take the money when I did
E
Wish I didn't hate the city in mid-July
D
Think I must've been somebody at some time
E
But you promise you can see me and you don't lie
D
But this is not mine anymore
E
It's giving you time like it always will
D
I don't wanna die anymore
E
There are hands to be held and drinks to be spilled
[Outro]
D
And I can and I will
E
You stand in the kitchen
Making me still
D
Cause I can and I will
E
I can and I will
D
I can and I will (and it’s alright if nothing calms down)
E
I can and I will (as hard as I try with my feet on the ground)
D
I can and I will (I buried my teeth into everything good)
E
I can and I will (and it didn't save me like I thought it would)
D
But I can and I will
E
I can and I will
