CAPO 1
G6 / C / Am / D7
i was born on planet earth, by incandescent streams my daddy
was a fisherman who took more than he'd ever need
Am / Em / Cmaj7
he cast his line into my life, an all-consuming dream
though i never tried to break it, so i guess that it's on me
Em / Em7 / C / Cmaj7
oh no (nooooooo)
oh no (nooooooo)
G6 / C / Am / D7
I grew up feeling nauseous, never felt right out at sea, he only
told me "wipe that frown off, this is where you're meant to be"
Am / Em / Cmaj7
i resent that scalding water, though it kept me company
and spent the years down at the pier just trying to numb myself to sleep
Em / Em7 / C / Cmaj7
oh no (nooooooo)
(should i give up and die, give up and die, give up and die?)
oh no (nooooooo)
(you better make up your mind, make up your mind, make up your mind)
Dm7 / Dm6 / Cmaj7|G / Cmaj7
then it struck me on the dock that night, your hypnagogic beam you were
a fire draping over, lit me up like kerosene
if only for a fleeting day,
you took me away, you took me away, you took me away,
oooo floating in a dark place
we were together and all else washed away
oooo suspended in a warm bath
you were tomorrow and every day after that
G6 / C / Am / D7
i woke up back on planet earth, stranded and alone
but it's time to get to work, life's not the same now that i know
Dm7 / Dm6 / Cmaj7|G / Cmaj7
that the sea's no place for me, i'll climb the stars to where you are
