[Intro]
D#m7 F#/A# Badd9 D#m/C## D#m7 F#/A# G#7sus2
D#m7 C#/E# F# Badd9

[Verse 1]
D#m7        F#/A#         Badd9
I'm circling     the drain
D#m/C##       D#m7            F#/A#
With   all my problems in hand
                G#7sus2
Well, I've got a       pretty good hand,
    D#m7
I'd say
    C#/E#        F#                 Badd9
But these new caskets crack the same
    D#m7            F#/A#
The first few stones     are the worst
Badd9 D#m/C##     D#m7      F#/A#
             They fall in unnoticed
   G#7sus2                                D#m7
And       scare you for more than they're worth
    C#/E#
And all  at once,
F#                 Badd9
  you will not hear     your own words

[Chorus]
F# Badd9 F# Badd9
F# Badd9 G#7 Badd9 D#m/C##

[Verse 2]
D#m7       F#/A#
    Closet weather at best,
Badd9                D#m/C##
     and you're a victim
D#m7              F#/A#          G#7sus2
    You say we're all  in the basket
                D#m7         C#/E#
But, oh, it's so    fun to remind us
 F#                Badd9
Over and over again
D#m7         F#/A#
    Time's a wasting,
   Badd9              D#m/C##
so now  I must be leaving
D#m7             F#/A#
    I'm crawling outside,
    G#7sus2
the same   way that I creeped in
D#m7        C#/E#
    And the rain falls down,
F#                        Badd9
  and it's heavy on my eyelids
Pulled to the ground,
down the fucking drain!

[Chorus]
F#
Maybe it's just my luck
Badd9    F#                 Badd9
     But I got a spotless record, oh
F#                       Badd9
Maybe it's harder to stay
       G#7                            Badd9
And we got it all wrong from the start
F#                         Badd9
Maybe it's all in the cards
   F#                     Badd9
Or just an excuse for playing, oh
D#m7                        D#m/C##
Maybe it's all in our hearts
             C#sus4                 Badd9 B#m7b5 Badd9
Maybe I don't      know what I'm saying  

[Interlude]
D#m7 F#/A# Badd9 D#m/C## D#m7 F#/A# G#7sus2
D#m7 C#/E# F# Badd9

[Verse 3]
D#m7        F#/A#
I'm circling     the drain
Badd9
D#m/C##        D#m7               F#/A#
       But I'm picking these bones     up
'Cause,
G#7sus2                        D#m7
man,   they don't live there today
    C#/E#          F#
And I    don't want  to hear the fibers crack
Badd9
     'Cause God knows,
           D#m7          F#/A#
I'd rather die than be dying!
           Badd9
It's not a cliché, no, sir
D#m/C##     D#m7         F#/A#
It     is a logical preference,
           G#7sus2                     D#m7        C#/E#
'cause the way    things were this year    Makes me
         F#                    Badd9
think how  good it all could be
And how well it could end!

[Chorus]
F#
Maybe it's just my luck
Badd9    F#                 Badd9
     But I got a spotless record, oh
F#                       Badd9
Maybe it's harder to stay
       G#7                            Badd9
And we got it all wrong from the start
F#                         Badd9
Maybe it's all in the cards
   F#                     Badd9
Or just an excuse for playing, oh
D#m7                        D#m/C##
Maybe it's all in our hearts
             C#sus4                 Badd9
Maybe I don't      know what I'm saying  
        B#m7b5
But I'm saying it anyway
