verse 2
G#m F# E
We all know safety
G#m F# E
Is a blessing and a curse
G#m F# E
Like Mary’s baby
G#m F# E
Staring back up at Mary
G#m F# E
So when they said “Turn up kick drum, turn up the snare”
G#m F# E
I turned away to see my baby put a flower in her hair
G#m F# E
Now I’m doing flips off the edge of the pool
G#m F# E
Sophomore, junior, fool

The things I do and the things I say

verse 3
G#m F# E
When all of your heroes have had their sons
G#m F# E
And all of your heroes have had their daughters

And all of your heroes have left you
G#m F# E
And all you have left is all of this water
G#m F# E G#m F# E
Well all you can do, all you can do
G#m F# E G#m F# E
Is secure your bird heart and sail towards the edge
G#m F# E G#m F# E
But I am just an arm hanging in the sun
G#m F# E
And that’s as spiritual as I know how to be
G#m F# E
Said that’s as spiritual as I know how to be
G#m F# E G#m F# E
I said I am just an arm hanging in the sun
G#m F# E G#m F# E
Where the daughter of a dove keeps me
G#m F# E
So when they said “turn up the kick drum, turn up the snare”
G#m F# E
I turned away to see my baby put a flower in her hair
G#m F# E G#m F# E
Now I’m just crossing shit off my list at the edge of the pool...5,4,3,2
G#m F# E G#m F# E
The one thing the wise man would do is waste away

My name is the bay
G#m F# E
My name is the bay
G#m F# E
My name is the bay
G#m F# E
My name is the bay
