Verse 1
D D Em7 Em7 D D Em7 Em7
I lie below, you float above
D D Em7 Em7 D D Em7 Em7
In the pretty white ships that I've been dreaming of
G G A7sus4 A7sus4
And I'd like to swim beside you
G G A7sus4 A7sus4
Getting dizzy in your wake
G G A7sus4 A7sus4
Getting close enough to touch you
G G A7sus4 A7sus4 D D
Getting brave enough to take you into my arms
Cadd9 Cadd9 G/B G/B
And bring you down to be with me

Chorus 1
G G(2) D/F# D/F# Em7 Em7 A7 A7 D D Dsus4 Dsus4 D D Dsus2 Dsus2
But I can't do that thing anymore
G G(2) D/F# D/F# Em7 Em7 Bsus2 Bsus2 Bm Bm
I can't be the thing I was before
G G(2) D/F# D/F# Em7 Em7 A7 A7 D D
Maybe I am better off alone
G G A7 A7 G G A7 A7
Because I crush everything and I crush everything
G G A7 A7 D D
and I crush everything

Intro Riff

Verse 2
D D Em7 Em7 D D Em7 Em7
My body's strong, but my will is weak
D D Em7 Em7 D D Em7 Em7
I got pretty nice arms, but I hate my beak
G G A7sus4 A7sus4
And the dolphins are all phonies
G G A7sus4 A7sus4
They seem nice enough at first
G G A7sus4 A7sus4
But they pretend to be your friend
G G A7sus4 A7sus4 D D
Until they see you at your worst and then they leave you
Cadd9 Cadd9 G/B G/B
Without a word they swim away

Chorus 2
G G(2) D/F# D/F# Em7 Em7 A7 A7 D D Dsus4 Dsus4 D D Dsus2 Dsus2
So I can't do that thing anymore
G G(2) D/F# D/F# Em7 Em7 Bsus2 Bsus2 Bm Bm
I can't be the thing I was before
G G(2) D/F# D/F# Em7 Em7 A7 A7 D D
Maybe I am better off alone
G G A7 A7 G G A7 A7
Because I crush everything and I crush everything
G G A7 A7 Bm Bm
and I crush everything

Bridge
Bm Bm F#m F#m Em Em G G(2)
And every thing I want I take
Bm Bm F#m F#m Em Em G G(2)
And every thing I love I break
Bm Bm F#m F#m Em Em G G(2)
And every night I lie awake

Intro Riff

Verse 3
D D Em7 Em7 D D Em7 Em7
Did the stars come out? Did the world spin round?
D D Em7 Em7 Em7 Em7
Does it matter that much when you're ten miles down?
G G A7sus4 A7sus4
In the light that filters down
G G A7sus4 A7sus4
Into my giant yellow eye
G G A7sus4 A7sus4
I can see the sails unfolding
G G A7sus4 A7sus4 D D
Stretching white against the sky and I forgive them
Cadd9 Cadd9 G/B G/B
I forgive and I let go

Chorus 3
G G(2) D/F# D/F# Em7 Em7 A7 A7 D D Dsus4 Dsus4 D D Dsus2 Dsus2
Cause I can't do that thing anymore
G G(2) D/F# D/F# Em7 Em7 Bsus2 Bsus2 Bm Bm
I can't be the thing I was before
G G(2) D/F# D/F# Em7 Em7 A7 A7 D D
Maybe I am better off alone
G G A7 A7 G G A7 A7
Because I crush everything and I crush everything
G G A7 A7 D D
and I crush everything

Intro Riff

Outro
D D Em7 Em7 D D Em7 Em7
I lie below, you float above

In the pretty white ships that I am dreaming of
