[Intro]
C Em G D

[Hook]
C                       Em
Memorize the bathwater, memorize the
air
G                                D
There'll come a time I'll wanna know
when I was here
C                        Em
Names on the doorframes, inches and 
ages
G                         D
Handprints in concrete at the 
softest stages
C            Em         G     D
I don't know why I don't try harder
C              G          D
I feel like throwin' towels into 
water

[Verse]
C                       G/B
Get it down to nothin', everything 
that matters
D/A
Fever flashes, eyelashes and traffic
patterns
C                   Em
Humidity, history, chemistry and 
panic
G                          D
Swimsuits in the windows of electric
minivans
C            Em         G     D
I don't know why I don't try harder
C                 Em           G
I've been goin' down some, some 
        D
strange water

[Pre-chorus]
            C                    Em
Move forward now, there's nothin' to
do
          G                 D
Can't turn around, I can't follow 
you
C                         G/B
Your coat's in my car, I guess you 
forgot
D/A
It's crazy, the things we let go of

[Chorus]
           C                  G/B
It finally hits me, a mile's drive
          D/A
The sky is leaking, the windshield's
crying
           C                  
I'm feelin' sacred, my soul is 
G/B
stripped
          D/A
Radio's painful, the words are 
clipped
            C                  
The grief it gets me, the weird 
G/B
goodbyes
          D/A
My car is creepin', I think it's 
dyin'
            C              G/B
I'm pullin' over until it heals
           D/A
I'm on a shoulder of lemon fields

[Bridge]
Am Em G D

Am             Em
What was I even leavin' for?
G            D
I keep goin' back and forth
Am              Em
I think now I'm about to see
G               D     D
Didn't know how sad it'd be

[Hook]
C                       Em
Memorize the bathwater, memorize the
air
G                                D
There'll come a time I'll wanna know
when I was here
C                        Em
Names on the doorframes, inches and 
ages
G                         D
Handprints in concrete at the 
softest stages
C            Em         G     D
I don't know why I don't try harder
C           Em        G          
I feel like throwin' towels into
