Verse 1:
C#5                    A5             B5          
There's comfort in the bottom of a swimming pool 
E                      A5
I'm holding my breath for you 
C#5                                     A5                B5       
There's no doubt in my mind that if you could then you would try 
E                            A5
To crack my ribcage open and pull my heart right through 

Interlude: C#5, A5, B5 (x3)

C#5                    A5             B5          
There's comfort in the bottom of a swimming pool 
E                     A5
I'm holding my breath for you 
C#5                                     A5                B5       E
There's no doubt in my mind that if you could then you would try 
                         A5
To crack my ribcage open and pull my heart right through 


Chorus:
F#5                    G#5        A5          E5
But I'm a creature of a culture that I create 
F#5                     G#5     A5
I'm the last one on the dance floor 
E5
As the chandelier gives way 
         F#5
And I am permanently 
  G#5                 A5
Preoccupied with your past 
      F#5         G#5     A5    E5 
I've been around long enough now 

To know that the good things never last 
                (C#5)
They never last. 
                   (Last)
Interlude: C#5, A5, B5   (x2)

Verse 2:
C#5                    A5             B5           
There's comfort in the silence of a living room 
E              A5
The TV is on for you 
C#5                      A5              B5
Hide in your basement while your house burns down 
(No Chords)
Your teeth are loose inside of your gums 
(No Chords)
They will eventually fall out 
C#5          A5      B5                    E           A5
Follow an orange extension cord under a carpet, to a closet door 
            C#5                      A5         B5
Feeding the black light that will someday make me very, very, very, very, 
      A5
very rich. 


Chorus:
F#5                      G#5        A5          E5
But I'm a creature of a culture that I create 
F#5                     G#5     A5
I'm the last one on the dance floor 
E5
As the chandelier gives way 
         F#5
And I am permanently 
  G#5                 A5
Preoccupied with your past 
           F#5              G#5      
I've been around long enough now 
   A5                   E        
To know that the good things never last 
                (C#5)
They never last. 
 

Interlude: E*, Eb*, C#5, B5 (x2)


Bridge:
E*            Eb*        C#5
How low is your self esteem 
    B5                E*       C#5
And how low could it possibly be? 
   E*                 Eb* 
I know, I know you're in love with me 
     C#5              B5
And I've been ignoring you 


Interlude: B5, C#5, Eb5, E5 (Repeat)


Outro:
           B5     C#5       Eb5        E5
I will stop cutting my pants into shorts 
    B5        C#5           Eb5         E5 
I will address the issues I cannot ignore 
       B5          C#5           Eb5         E5 
And I will do the things I think you might like 
           B5   C#5      Eb5         E5 
And I will be alone probably the rest of my life 
       C#5                                A5
There's comfort in the bottom of a swimming pool.
