[Verse 1]
 
D                                     A
Life’s too short to even care at all, oh
G                                          A
I’m losing my mind, losing my mind, losing control
D                                               A
These fishes in the sea, they’re staring at me, oh oh oh oh oh oh
G                                       A
A wet world longs for a beat of a drum, oh
 
 
[Chorus]
 
           Bm                                  A
If I could find a way to see this straight I’d run away
                     G           Bm        A
To some fortune that I should have found by now
                  G           Bm       A
I’m waiting for this cough syrup to come down
 
 
[Bridge]
 
(Repeat D A G A pattern)
Uhh ch ch ch ch
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
D                                     A
Life’s too short to even care at all, oh
G                                           A
I’m coming up now, coming up now out of the blue
D                                                        A
These zombies in the park, they’re looking for my heart, oh oh oh oh
G                                           A
A dark world aches for a splash of the sun, oh oh
 
 
[Chorus]
 
           Bm                                  A
If I could find a way to see this straight I’d run away
                     G           Bm        A
To some fortune that I should have found by now
                                           Bm
And so I run to the things they said could restore me
                 A
Restore life the way it should be
                     G        Bm       A
I’m waiting for this cough syrup to come down
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
D                                     A
Life’s too short to even care at all, oh
G                                             A
I’m losing my mind, losing my mind, losing control
 
 
[Chorus]
 
           Bm                                  A
If I could find a way to see this straight I’d run away
                     G           Bm        A
To some fortune that I should have found by now
                                       Bm
So I run to the things they said could restore me
                 A
Restore life the way it should be
                     G        Bm       A
I’m waiting for this cough syrup to come down
 
 
[Outro]
 
D                                  A
One more spoon of cough syrup now
G                                 A
One more spoon of cough syrup now
