Dbm E F#m Dbm
You didn't know me, when you were a kid
A Dbm F#m A
In trouble at school, alone at lunch again
Dbm E F#m Dbm
I didn't know you, when I broke my knee
A Dbm F#m A
Spent the summer on crutches, and everybody teased
F#5 E5 A5 D5
Except for this one friend I almost forgot
Chorus: (Instrumental Only)

Dbm E F#m Dbm
You didn't know me, but he knew me best
A Dbm F#m A
The weight of my brain, the fear of my cold head
Dbm E F#m Dbm
You never saw me, interred in the ice
A Dbm F#m A
My friend tried to melt, but he couldn't thaw me out right
F#5 E5 A5 D5
So I got ditched freezing, alone with my thoughts
Chorus:
And though I once said, I was better off just being dead
Better off just being dead, without my old friend
True, I once said, I was better off just being dead
But I didn't know you yet
Dbm E F#m Dbm
You didn't know me, but you got cold, too
A Dbm F#m A
And your mind was heavy, and you thought you might lose it
Dbm E F#m Dbm
Well everything fucked up, we both felt before
A Dbm F#m A
I'm glad for it all if it got us where we are
F#5 E5 A5 D5
With you in the boat there, I almost forgot
Chorus:
How I once said, I was better off just being dead
Better off just being dead, I didn't know you yet
And you might've said, you were better off just being dead
But looking out for you, my friend, look out
Solo: Db5 E5 A5 E5 A5 E5 F#5 A5 (x2) (Chords relevant of bass guitar during solo)
Outro:
Dbm E F#m Dbm
I didn't know you when you were a kid
A Dbm F#m A
But swimming with you, it sure feels like I did
