You are sleeping off your demons
A           D
When I come home
A                        E
Spittle bubbling on your lips
A          D
Fine white foam
A                   D
I am young and I am good
       A                       D
It's a hot Southern California day
A             E
If I wake you up
A                     D
There will be hell to pay
                A
And alone in my room
         D                    A
I am the last of a lost civilization
D                     A
And I vanish into the dark
    D             A
And rise above my station
D             A
Rise above my station

      A                         D
But I do wake you up and when I do
    A                           D
You blaze down the hall and you scream
A                      E
I'm in my room with my headphones on
A         D
Deep in a dream chamber
    A                      D
And then I'm awake and I'm guarding my face
A                         D
Hoping you don't break my stereo
        A                         E
Because it's the one thing that I couldn't live without
         A
And so I think about that
       D
Then I sort of black out
                            A
Held under these smothering waves
        D                       A
By your strong and thick veined hand
D                A
But one of these days
          E                  A
I'm gonna wriggle off on dry land
