Intro 
F#      F# E 
F#      F# E 
F#      F# E 
 
verse 1 
B                 D#m C#m 
 If there were an o-  cean 
B                      D#m  C#m 
 We'd be wading in the dis- tance 
B                    D#m C#m 
 There would be only wa- ter 
B               D#m    C#m 
 Creating our resistance 
B                D#m  C#m 
 A place to decompress 
B                    D#m           C#m 
 A vat of chlorine's close enough I guess 
B                 D#m C#m 
 If there were an o- cean 
B                    D#m   C#m 
 we'd glisten on the surface 
E       F# 
Surface 
 
verse 2 
B               D#m  C#m 
 Instead of an erup- tion 
B               D#m   C#m 
 We bubble only briefly 
B               D#m  C#m 
 When there is ero- sion 
B                  D#m  C#m 
 We both regret it deeply 
 
Bridge 
    F#m                                                 B 
I arrived at the scene you were perfectly surrounded by pylons 
         F#m                 F#                    E      B 
When the crowd separated the officer said you were already gone 
    G#m 
Appetite minuscule 
              A                E 
Middle of the night, drain the pool 
             B    D#m  C#m 
The summer's over 
B      D#m C#m 
 
Outro 
B                      D#m   C#m 
 I don't think I could find it 
B                   D#m   C#m 
I don't know how to find it again 
B                               D#m   C#m 
 Don't think that I could get behind it 
B                          D#m   C#m B 
 I don't think I will ever find it  again
