Ooh, ooh


[Verse 1]
 Ab                              Eb
Comparison's a game that always ends in tears
                    Fm
Or heavy hearts or wasted years
                   Eb
Whatever kills me first
    Ab
And all the best parts of all the best things
   Eb            C
Is all I'd ever want to be
     Fm              Db               Eb
Oh, mirrors and the skyscrapers they build

Like the great oceanographers
 Ab                  Eb
Hold my breath underwater
     Db              Dbm
And pray it's not a wasted effort

[Verse 2]
       Ab                                 Eb
And I envy you the things that scare you half to death
                 Fm
A job with no excitement left
                    Eb
Whatever kills you first
         Ab                       (Fm)
And I'll bet your broken heart you saw it
 Eb             C
Coming for you just as I did
 Fm           Db                   Eb
Conversations and the doubts they build


[Chorus]
 Ab                  Eb
Hold my breath underwater
 Db              Eb
Like the great oceanographers
 Ab                  Eb
Hold my breath underwater

And pray it's not a wasted effort

Ab              Eb
My breath underwater
 Db              Eb
Like the great oceanographers
 Ab                  Eb
Hold my breath underwater
     Db              Eb     C
And pray it's not a wasted effort
 Ab                  Eb
Hold my breath underwater
 Db              Eb
Like the great oceanographers
