Standard (EADGBE)
Another roller coaster ride,
We were stuck, in overdrive,
You were broken-hearted; I was all right,
When I met you
She tried to ditch me and I tried to hate her,
But we're still here ten break-ups later
I've got this figured out,
but I still don't understand her,
She's like the perfect wave in a shark infested sea.
When she breaks, she rains down on me,
And I can't catch my breath,
But I won't let her go...
Yes I feel at home in the undertow
My friends told me 'Man you're gonna crash,
A girl like that'll knock you on your ass'
I told them all that they could eat our dust,
And we're still trucking on...
She tried to ditch me and I tried to hate her,
But we're still here ten break-ups later
Chorus
Seems like I never win, I never learned how to swim,
I spend my whole life treading water...
You got me off of the beach and now I'm back in the reef,
You can be my life preserver...
