Rylan, you should try to get some sun.
G#m               D#m     G#m      D#m
You remind me of everyone.
B                          D#m           B    D#m
Rylan, did you break your mother's heart
G#m                     D#m            G#m    D#m
Every time you tried to play your part?
 
[Chorus]
      E                B
Is it easy to keep so quiet?
G#m                C#m
Everybody loves a quiet child.
       E               B
Underwater you're almost free

If you wanna be alone, come with me

Rylan, you can take the quick way out.
G#m                           D#m              G#m    D#m
You can turn blank white in a blank white house.
B                               D#m              B    D#m
They say that you're a pervert, you're a vulture.
G#m                 D#m            G#m    D#m
Don't you wanna be popular culture?

       E               B
Underwater you're almost free
G#m               C#m
If you wanna be alone, come with me
 
      E               B
Is it easy to live inside yourself?
G#m                     C#m
All the little kids are high and hazy.
E               B
Everybody got nowhere to go,
G#m               C#m
Everybody wants to be amazing.
 
[Bridge]
B              D#m
Rylan, California's rotten.
B                    D#m
Dress light blue to be forgotten.
G#m                   D#m
Eat your pearls on Sunday morning.
G#m             D#m
Keep your conversations boring.
B                D#m
Stay with me among the strangers.
B                      D#m
Change your mind and nothing changes.
G#m              D#m
Don't let show any emotion
G#m             D#m
When you climb into the ocean.
B                        D#m          B    D#m
Rylan, you should try to get some sun.
G#m                                D#m   G#m    D#m
There's a little bit of hell in everyone.
