[Intro]
Em  G  D  C
Em  G  D  C


[Verse 1]
  Em                    G
I swore to some high-up old dude
         D                            C
That I'd never find myself going back to you
             Em
But that was old news
            D
And now I'm confused
                                             C
And it's starting to seem more like what did I do


[Pre-Chorus]
    C       G          D
And I can't take it anymore
           C            G            D
I'm a castaway, hallucinating on the shore
                    C                   G           D
And you're that lemonade that I've been waiting out for
        C                 G
So I'll take a sip and it makes me sick
        D
But I reminisce and I forget that we're a


[Chorus]
C            G               D         Em
Plane crash, train wreck, tornado on a straight path
C             G        D
Always coming back for more
               Em
All I remember is
C            G          D                 Em
Night skies, car rides, everything seemed all right
C                 G          D
That was just the eye of the storm
        Em     C G D
The eye of the storm
               C G D
The eye of the storm
        Em     C G D
The eye of the storm
               C G D  Em
The eye of the storm


[Verse 2]
Em
And now when it passes August
G
It's always hard to digest
D                          C
Why in the hell that I left
                   Em
Was it really that bad?
Em
Did we just quit or give this
G
Too little time to fix it
D
We all have disagreements
C
But was it really that bad?


[Pre-Chorus]
    C       G          D
And I can't take it anymore
           C            G            D
I'm a castaway, hallucinating on the shore
                    C                   G           D
And you're that lemonade that I've been waiting out for
        C                 G
So I'll take a sip and it makes me sick
        D
But I reminisce and I forget that we're a


[Chorus]
C            G               D         Em
Plane crash, train wreck, tornado on a straight path
C             G        D
Always coming back for more
               Em
All I remember is
C            G          D                 Em
Night skies, car rides, everything seemed all right
C                 G          D
That was just the eye of the storm
        Em     C G D
The eye of the storm
               C G D
The eye of the storm
        Em     C G D
The eye of the storm
               C G D
The eye of the storm

C       G          D
I can't take it anymore

I'm a castaway, hallucinating on the shore
