Treading Water

Am                           C
My heart just sank the moment I saw you
G                          D
You're the image of a girl that I used to know
Am                                C
Don't be alarmed if it seems hard for me to explain
G                             D
But every detail of your face makes me recall her name
Am          C     G       D
   Treading water, I keep treading water

           Am             C             G      D
Maybe it's another chance to mug myself again
           Am             C
Maybe it's another chance
                          G                    D
I'm sure I'll fuck things up in the same way
           Am             C             G      D
Maybe it's another chance to mug myself again

Can you forgive the things I do that I can't amend
Nor the way I yearn for her, I hope you can pretend
Girl, you're a fire and you'll find that I want to get burned
No matter what you can teach me I'm sure I'll never learn
Treading water, I keep treading water

Maybe it's another chance to mug myself again
Maybe it's another chance
I'm sure I'll fuck things up in the same way
Maybe it's another chance to mug myself again

      Am            C     
If my concentration seems spread too thin
G                     D
And when you speak my eyes glaze over
    Am         C             G          D
I'm sorry girl, it's not you, it's her

And you're another chance to mug myself again.
Maybe you're another chance
I'm sure I'll fuck things up in the same way
Maybe it's another chance to mug myself again
