D                                     A
Life's too short to even care at all oh
G                                         A
I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control
D                                             A
These fishes in the sea they're staring at me oh
oh Oh oh oh oh
G                                      A
A wet world aches for a beat of a drum Oh

Chorus:
            Bm
If I could find a way to see this straight
     A
I'd run away
                     G               Bm        A
To some fortune that I I should have found by now
                  G           Bm     A
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down

Life's too short to even care at all, oh-whoa, oh
I'm coming up now, coming up now
Out of the blue, oh-oh, oh-oh
These zombies in the park,
they're looking for my heart
Oh-whoa, oh, whoa-oh, oh
A dark world aches for a splash of the sun
Oh-whoa oh, oh, oh

Chorus:
If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away, to some fortune that
I should have found
By now
And so I run now to the
things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup
To come down

D                                    A
Life's too short to even care at all oh
G                                         A
I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control

Chorus:
If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away, to some fortune that
I should have found
By now
So I run now to the things
they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup
To come down

One more spoon of cough syrup now, oh, whoa-oh
One more spoon of cough syrup now, whoa, oh, whoa
