Strum
D-DU-UDU
Your  love is  like  finger nails on a chalkboard
Your  love is  like throwing  myself overboard
A  breakdown on a motorway
A  heart attack on  Christmas day
Like  scaling a cliff then falling off
Like  trying not to cough
And  I didn’t see this one coming, now I’m in  too deep
I  didn’t see this one coming, now I’m in  too deep
I  think I’ll just keep swimming down,  down, down
There’s  no point in trying to turn  back now
I’m  drowned
I’m  drowned
Your  love is  like sand  inside a bathing  suit
Your  love is  a symphony  with the  sound on mute
A  letter to the wrong  address
Or  red wine on a wedding  dress
Like  broken bones in my playing hand
Like  trying to swallow sand
And  I didn’t see this one coming, now I’m in  too deep
I  didn’t see this one coming, now I’m in  too deep
I  think I’ll just keep swimming down,  down, down
There’s  no point in trying to reach  dry ground
I’m  drowned
I’m  drowned
Your  love is  like one  last breath of salty  air
Your  love is  like a  map that leads to  nowhere
A  wine glass on a concrete  floor
The  overuse of metaphor
The  straight ahead in a sideways glance
Like  the misstep in a dance
And  I didn’t see this one coming, now I’m in  too deep
I  didn’t see this one coming, now I’m in  too deep
I  think I’ll just keep swimming down
There’s  no point in turning  'round
I’m  drowned
I’m  drowned
