D
This place is dragging me down
   Bm     F#m         G         A  E
A hamster wheel, I thought I'd be done by now
D
Now that all my allies are gone
   Bm F#m    G       A     E
I realize advancing could hold you back

Chorus:
Bm   D     F#m      G          A      A#     Bm
My good intentions just keep sliding by the wayside
G   D         F#m       G      A        C#       D
But its high tide and they get washed away with time
      Bm            G          Bm            G
Until everything's gone, until everything's gone

All's fine along the Long Island Sound
But fine's polite I'd rather things more profound
I've become a rock these days and I swim like one
Alone again, barely surviving the tidal wave

Chorus

  F#m                    G            D
I swear, damn it all to hell, damn it all to hell

    D              F#m       Bm           A
I think I finally found the way to go to heaven
         D           F#m     Bm  A
Without dying, so I'm on my way
    Em          F#m       G          A
The harder you work, the harder you fall
    Em          F#m       G         A
You wake up one day with nothing at all

Chorus

Till everything's gone, till everything's gone
I swear, damn it all to hell
