[Verse 1]
G               F#
I lost an island, in the ocean

Bm                              D
The place where nickels come to gamble on their faces

G                  F#
She took the offer, to be the daughter

Bm                           D
We pledge allegiance to the one who offers social graces

G            F#
Please don't blame me

G            F#
Please don't blame me


[Chorus]
       B               D
'Cause I'm in over my head
            G
In over my head
              E
It's for the best


[Short Riff]


[Verse 2]
G
I ripped up the picture
F#
The one in the kitchen
Bm
I looked weak
   D
My eyes, they gave it all away

G
I don't deny it
F#
I still haven't found it
Bm
I proudly wear the scars
      D
I've challenged every crutch so far

G            F#
Please don't blame me

G            F#
Please don't blame me


[Chorus]
       B               D
'Cause I'm in over my head
            G
In over my head
              E
It's for the best


[Break]
G            F#
Please don't blame me

G            F#
Please don't blame me


(Single strums)

      B               D
'Cause I'm in over my head
            G
In over my head
              E
It's for the best
