[Intro 1]
[Am][G][F][G][Am]
[C][D][Am][G][F][G][Am]
[C][D]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Hotel
hobbies padding dawn[G]s hollow corr[F]idors
[G]A t[Am]ypewriter cackles
[C]out a stream of [D]memories
[Am]Dryin' out a conscience,
[G]evictin' a night[F]mare[G]
[Am]Openin' the doors for the dream
[C]s t[D]o come h[Eb]ome

[Verse 2]
We live out lives in [Eb]private shells
Ignore our senses and
fool ourselves
To thinkin' that out there there's
someone else cares
Someone to answer all our prayers,
all our prayers
[Dm]

[Verse 3]
Are we [Am]too far gone,
are [G]we so irrespons[F]ible?
Have we [Am]lost our balls or [C]do we just
not [D]care?
[Am]We're terminal cases [G]that keep
takin' medi[F]cine?
[G]Pre[Am]tendin' the end isn't [C]quite that [D]near

[Verse 4]
We make [Am]fu tile gestures,
[G]act to the camer[F]as
With [Am]our made up faces and
[C]PR smi[D]les
And when the [Am]angel comes down,
[G]down to deliver [F]us
[G]We'll fin[Am]d out after all,
we're only [C]men of [D]straw[Eb]

[Verse 5]
But everything is [Eb]still the same
Passin' the time and passin'
the [F]blame[Eb]
We carry on in the same old [F]way
[Eb]We'll find out we left it too late one day
[Dm]To say, what we meant to say

[Interlude 1]
[Cm]

[Verse 6]
Just when you thought it [Cm]was safe
to go back to the water
Those problems seem to arise the ones
you never really thought of
The feeling you get is similar
to somethin' like drownin', hey
Out of your mind,
you're out of your depth
You should have taken soundings

[Verse 7]
Clutchin' at [Cm]straws
We're clutchin' at straws

[Interlude 2]
We're clutchin' at straws
[Cm][Fm][Eb][C#]

[Bb][Cm][Bb][G#][Cm]
[Eb]
[F]And if you

[Verse 8]
[Cm]ever come across us,
don't [Bb]give us your sym[G#]pathy
You can [Cm]buy us a drink and
[Eb]just shake our [F]hands
And you'll [Cm]recognize by the re
[Bb]flection in our [G#]eyes
That [Cm]deep down inside,
we're all [Eb]one and [F]the same

[Verse 9]
[Cm]We're clutchin' at straws
[Bb]We're still drow[G#]nin'
[Cm]Clutchin' at straws
[Eb]We're stil[F]l drownin',
yeah
[Fm][Cm]

[Verse 10]
[Bb]Clutchin' at straws,
[G#]we'r[Cm]e clu[Eb]tchin' at straws[F]

[G#]I'm still drow[Cm]nin'
[Eb]We're clutchin' at straws
[F]I'm sti[Cm]ll

[Verse 11]

Still [Cm]drownin'
[Eb]We're clutchin' at [F]straws

[Verse 12]
Still [Cm]drownin'

[Cm]Still drownin'
[Eb]We're clutchin' at straws
[F]I'm still

[Verse 13]

[G#]Still drow[Cm]nin'
