C                   Am
Tough choice, don't make me laugh
   E                   F
My life's a joke, your life's a gas
    C                 Am
You broke my heart at midnight mass
    E                F
Now I'm the ghost of Christmas past
    C               Am
The only choice you gave to me
   E             F
Is one I took reluctantly
       C              Am
'Cause when we play democracy
    E             F
You always take immunity


[Chorus 1]
C     Am           E           F             C
  How long 'til we sink to the bottom of the sea?
    Am        E     F
How long, how long?
C     Am           E             F            C
  How long 'til we sink and it's only you and me?
    Am        E     F
How long, how long?


[Post-Chorus 1]
    C         Am          E      F
How long? (La la-la-la la-la-la)
    C         Am    E   F
How long? (La-la la-la)
    C         Am          E      F
How long? (La la-la-la la-la-la)
    C         Am    E   F
How long? (La-la la-la)


[Verse 2]
C                   Am
What's the point of getting clean?
       E                 F
You'll wear the same old dirty jeans
C                   Am
What's the point of being seen?
      E                     F
Those eyes are cruel, those eyes are mean
C                   Am
What's the point of human beings?
  E               F
A Sharpie face on tangerines
C                  Am
Why's it felt like Halloween
      E           F
Since Christmas 2017?


[Chorus 2]
C     Am    E  F
  How long?
C     Am        E     F
  How long, how long?
C     Am           E             F            C
  How long 'til we sink and it's only you and me?
    Am        E     F
How long, how long?


[Post-Chorus 2]
    C         Am          E      F
How long? (La la-la-la la-la-la)
    C         Am    E   F
How long? (La-la la-la)
    C         Am          E      F
How long? (La la-la-la la-la-la)
    C         Am    E   F
How long? (La-la la-la)
C  Am  E  F
C  Am  E  F


[Verse 3]
C                  Am
Getting to the top
       E                   F
Wasn't supposed to be this hard
    C              Am
The house is on Mulholland Drive
    E               F
The car's on Sunset Boulevard
    C              Am
The registration's here with me
    E             F
But neither of us has the key
C                Am
We can live down in the flats
    E                 F
The hills will fall eventually


[Chorus 3]
C     Am           E           F             C
  How long 'til we sink to the bottom of the sea?
    Am        E     F
How long, how long?
C     Am           E             F            C
  How long 'til we sink and it's only you and me?
    Am        E     F
How long, how long?


[Post-Chorus 3]
    C         Am          E      F
How long? (La la-la-la la-la-la)
    C         Am    E   F
How long? (La-la la-la)
    C         Am          E      F
How long? (La la-la-la la-la-la)
    C         Am    E   F
How long? (La-la la-la)

    C     Am  E  F
How long?
    C     Am  E  F
How long?
    C     Am  E  F
How long?
    C     Am  E  F
How long?


[Outro]
C  Am  E  F
C  Am  E  F
C     Am           E           F             C
  How long 'til we sink to the bottom of the sea?
    Am        E
How long, how long?
