        F#
I wanna occupy your brain
       A#m                   G#
Be the only living space in your head
                F#
And when you're fillin' up your lungs
           A#m                     G#
Mine's the only name that's under your breath

                     F#
Brought a knife to a gun fight
                   A#m
But the hurtin' is all mine
                    G#
When the feeling is airtight
                        F#
I know it takes time to let go
                    A#m
But I can't take it no more
                  G#
Can I make up for lost time?

Chorus:
            C#                    G#
If there's bleach in the hallways, I can start over
  F#
Bleach in my head, just to get away
               A#m                   G#
I'm washin' it out till I've figured out
          F#
Livin' without you
(Everything I want, spinning down the drain)
            C#                     G#
If there's bleach in the hallways, I can start over
F#
Bleach in my hair every Saturday
               A#m                G#
I'm washin' it out till I figured out
           F#
Livin' without you

(Everything I want, spinning down the drain)

I feel you underneath my tongue
Next to every word that I should have said
No matter how far that I've run
Memories always seem to catch up again

Brought a knife to a gun fight
But the hurtin' is all mine
When the feeling is airtight
I know it takes time to let go
But I can't take it no more
Can I make up for lost time?

Chorus

It's so hard to watch everything I want
(Everything I was spinnin' down the drain)
It's so hard to watch everything I want
(Everything I was spinnin' down the drain)
