Not intended to be played along with the song, just one way to play it. Should be simple enough for a learner.
Verse
EThis is for the Blions living in the wiryA broke-down frames of my friends bodies.
EWhen the flood water comBes, it ain't gonna be clAear, it’s gonna look like mud.
G#mBut I will help Ayou swim.
G#mI will help you Aswim.
I'm gonna help you swim.E
Verse
EThis is for the Bsnakes and the people they bite;A
For the friends I’ve made; for the sleepless nights;
EFor the warning signs I’Bve completely ignored. A
There’s an amount to take, reasons to take more.
Pre-Chorus
G#mIt's no big surprise you turned out thisA way.
When they close their eyG#mes and prayed you would change A
EAnd they cut your hair, Band sent you away A
You stopped by my house the night you escaped
EWith tears in my eyes, IB begged you to sAtay
You said, “Hey man, I love you but no fucking way”
Chorus
EI’m sure that we could G#mfind something for Ayou to do on F#mstage.
EMaybe shake a tambouG#mrine or when I sing, Ayou sing harmoF#mnies.
Verse
EThis is for the lake thaBt me and my friends swimA in, naked and dumb on a drunken night
EAnd it should've felt goBod but I can hear the Jaws themeA song on repeat in the back of my mind
G#mMake sure you kiAss your knuckles before you puncG#mh me in the faceA
G#mThere are lessons to be learned, consequAences for all the stupidG#m things I say A
Pre-Chorus
EAnd it is no big surprise you turned outB this way.
The sparAk in her eyes, The look on your face.
I will not be late.
Chorus
EI’m sure that we could G#mfind something for Ayou to do on F#mstage.
EMaybe shake a tambouG#mrine or when I sing, Ayou sing harmoF#mnies.
