INTRO:
      `  `Do5

VERSE:
                        *
  there was a wait in the water a weight in the air
                  *
  if I'd waited any longer an additional fare
*                      
  and they can keep you a-round like a head on a stake
                    
  I guess the industry found a use for my namesake
                     *
  I built my calluses up from foolin' on the guitar
                        *
  I keep them hard in the midst of what seems soft and bizarre
*            
  and ephemeral notions like a song are a curse
             
  offering a re-turn but making me feel worse

CHORUS-SHORT:
                         _/
if you want to quit you should quit like a winner cut your
                    _
losses and extricate your-self from the bidding
                             _
  and tell your friends that you coulda if you'd wanted to
                            _
  and tell yourself that it's strong to make a hard call
                      _
  and when the others are all fed and watered you're
                        _  .
still bet'n' cheering her on     by then I bet you'll be

RE-INTRO:
       `  `Do5
gone

VERSE:
                *
  so I sit in the meantime and sharpen my teeth
                   *
  and encode all the bitterness I choose to bequeath
*                
  but if one equals C then yeah A equals three
                       
  but the encryption just adds to the mendacity
                      *
  now I'm on top of the water still suppressed by the air
                    *
  I earn my wage on a track that's almost totally bare
*                 
  of the things I ex-pected when I first got the itch
                     
  I'd turn it off if on-ly there existed a switch

CHORUS:
                         _/
if you want to quit you should quit like a winner cut your
                    _
losses and extricate your-self from the bidding
                             _
  and tell your friends that you coulda if you'd wanted to
                            _
  and tell yourself that it's strong to make a hard call and
                      _/
if you wanna try you should try like a loser who
                 _
keeps on betting their life on a slow horse
                      _
  and every year well she gets a little more tired you're
                        _  .

BRIDGE: [breakdown]
Do5.                   Do5
  sometimes I get to a point where little problems seem too
    _*
big for me  and then I let them un-
                       
ravel like a line in the ocean sinking down into the
     
density
                        
  and when the pressure be-comes the same amount as what's in-
    _*
side of me  I can sink and ex-
                              
plode or hold my breath until I float I gamble on my own bi-
   
ology  the barnacles on the
                              
ladder bleed my feet while they set a good example in ten-
   
acity
