Make The Grade Tab par Jack Conte

D
Somewhere at the bottom of the ocean
                       G
I am floating past the algae,
    G#m             Em7
The whale bones, so pretty,
       A
But my body
                      D
Still didn't make the grade,
                      D
Still didn't make the grade.

Somewhere in the basement I once had
                        G
A good idea but I can't find it.
G#m                G6
My mind is drawing blanks
            A
To fill the page,
                           D
But I still won't make the grade,
                     D
Still won't make the grade.

G   G#m       B
I'm regaining patience
       (B7)              G6
In the better half of man,

G               G#m     B
And the stories we'll remember
    (B7)             G
Are from a different hand.


D 
Somewhere at the bottom of my brain
                      G
I just don't care and I don't want to.
    G#m   G6
But I do, anyway...
A
Anyway, I

Still won't make the grade,

Still won't make the grade.
