Verse 1:
G5                 F              C 
This one goes out to my lovely friends 
G5                    F            C 
Dark rooms could not dim your innocence 
   G5             F      C         C/B    Am 
An island in the sun is all we're looking for 
    G5               F                    C 
And in this sea of sharks we're just swimmin' 
       G/D               F              C 
Pushed off the beaches knowing all too well 
  
Verse 2:
                  G/D              F            C 
There were cracks in the wood and tissue paper sails 
      G/D            F      C         C/B      Am 
The storm came on a run, we knew that we were done 
           G/D             F     C 
Sat there laughing at the situation 
  
Verse 3:
G5                 F                 C 
Somebody save us, somebody save our ship 
G5                     F              C 
Somewhere off of the coast out in the Atlantic 
      G5                   F              C   C/B  Am 
And assure yourself my friend we cannot quit this now 
     G5                 F                   C 
The ship is gone and I think it's time we swim 
  
Verse 1:
 G5                F                 C 
Somebody save us, somebody get here quick 
 G5                        F            C 
Send the coast guard, the navy and the fisherman 
      G5                  F             C  C/B    Am 
And assure yourself my friends we are shit outta luck 
         F7M/C                                    C 
So I'm sleepin' at the bottom of the ocean sinking slow 
F7M/C                                     C 
Feel the pull and the motion of things you think that you know 
 
F7M/C   C 
Wait it's ok 
            Am 
Haven't we been here before 
            G5 
Haven't we been here before 
           F7M/C           C 
And I said hey, what's your name 
                    Am 
'Cause we can swim right back into shore 
          G5 
Kickins' what these feet are for, oh yeah
