Chords and Lyrics:
[Verse]
C G
Life's too short to even care at all oh
F G
I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control
C G
These fishes in the sea they're staring at me oh oh Oh oh oh oh
F G
A wet world aches for a beat of a drum Oh
[Chorus]
Am
If I could find a way to see this straight
G
I'd run away
F Am G
To some fortune that I I should have found by now
F Am G
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down
[Verse]
C G
Life's too short to even care at all oh
F G
I'm coming up now coming up now out of the blue oh
C
These zombies in the park they're looking for my heart
G
Oh oh oh oh
F G
A dark world aches for a splash of the sun oh oh
[Chorus]
Am
If I could find a way to see this straight
G
I'd run away
F Am G
To some fortune that I I should have found by now
Am
And so I run to the things they said could restore me
G
Restore life the way it should be
F Am G
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down
[Verse]
C G
Life's too short to even care at all oh
F G
I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control
[Interlude]
C G F C G x3
[Chorus]
Am
If I could find a way to see this straight
G
I'd run away
F Am G
To some fortune that I I should have found by now
Am
And so I run to the things they said could restore me
G
Restore life the way it should be
F Am G
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down
[Outro]
C G
One more spoon of cough syrup now whoa oh

There’s an ever-growing list of songs that I want to play and cover…
But sometimes, certain songs don’t work out.
Usually because they’re too difficult to play, I can’t find good chords for them, or I just can’t make it sound good…
Here are few of the many songs that I would love to play, but can’t:
Jamiroquai – Virtual Insanity
Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit
Jackson 5 – I Want You Back
Bobby Hebb – Sunny
Tyler, the Creator – Boredom
Anyway, I’ve brought you a song that I can play…
And it’s a song that I usually never play or listen to…
It just kind of “popped up” in my head while I was looking for songs.
And I think it turned out alright.
Here’s your priority-access, first look at y new cover of “Cough Syrup” by Young The Giant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=046bkkTAjlE
It was a pretty big radio hit over 10 years ago, but I haven’t heard much else from them since.
Feel free to leave a like/comment/blackmail/etc.
Enjoy,
Dylan the Giant
P.S. I’m re-doing the KL EP with added harmonies. Stay tuned!
