If you're wondering [A]how we [D]landed [G]here
You were watching the [A]waves and [D]drinking [G]beer
You don't even rem[A]ember s[D]tanding u[Bm]p
Truly, I don't [Em]either

At some point you [A]waded [D]to your [G]waist

A water darker and [Em]deeper

So fine you are[D] , delicate[Em] un-achieve [F#m]all your half[G] -philosophy
[D]Style points,[Em] blind belief[F#m] a whirling perp[G]etuity
[D]The ocean [Em]warm that knows you [F#m]did the same [G]before

[CHORUS 3]
So in [G]2017 we did [A]away with facts
[D]All negotiation with a [G]battle axe
The [G]gruesome ideology is [A]center shame
[D]American identity was [G]laid to waste
[G]We're backlit and exposed
[A]Sugar stripped and it's made [Bm]clean [D] [Em]
