[Primera Parte]
 
C    Dm             F
   Throw me in the deep end
C       Dm            F
   I’m ready now to swim
    C         Dm
The air in my lungs
         F                    C Dm F
May not last very long but I’m in
C     Dm             F
   I see you on the weekend
C   Dm              F
   Dancing like a star
        C               Dm
You've practiced your lines
       F
To convince us you’re fine
       C           Dm            F
But I know that’s not where you are
 
[Pre-Estribillo]
 
Am         E
Once in a blue moon
    G          D
You may come undone
       F              G
We’re made up of the same blood
 
[Estribillo]
 
          C       Dm          F
I’ll be your medicine if you let me
           C        Dm         F
Give you reason to get out of bed
C           Dm        F
Sister I’m trying to hold off the lightning
     C          Dm             F
And help you escape from your head

C   Dm                 F
   Come and waste the day
        C        Dm        F
Watch a super 8 videotape
         C           Dm
We were kids in the car
        F
Having lighthearted arguments
    C                 Dm              F
We don’t know what’s there till it’s gone
 
[Pre-Estribillo]
 
Am           E
Just hear me out
         G           D
And you might understand
      F               G
We’re made up of the same blood
 
[Estribillo]
 
          C       Dm          F
I’ll be your medicine if you let me
           C        Dm         F
Give you reason to get out of bed
C           Dm        F
Sister I’m trying to hold off the lightning
     C          Dm             F
And help you escape from your head
