verse 1
 
Watermarks on the ceiling
Em
I can see Jesus and he's frowning at me
 
I see a dead seal on the beach
 
The old man says he's already saved it three times this week
 
Guess it just wants to die
 
I would wanna die too
 
With people putting oil into my air
 
But to be fair, I've done my share
 
Guess everybody's got their different point of view
 
verse 2
 
Em Em A
I was walking down Sunset Strip, Phillip Island, not Los Angeles
 
Got me some hot chips and a cold drink
Em A
Took a sandy seat on the shore
A
There's a paper on the ground, it makes my headache quite profound
A5
As I read it out loud
Em A
It said "The Great Barrier Reef it ain't so great anymore
 
It's been raped beyond belief, the dredgers treat it like a whore"
Em A
I drank 'til I was sinking, sank 'til I was thinking
Em A
That I'm thankful for this view
Em A
I drank 'til I was sinking, sank 'til I was thinking
Em A
That I'm thankful for this view
Em
We either think that we're invincible or that we are invisible
A
Realistically we're somewhere in between
Em A Em A
We all think that we're nobody but everybody is somebody else's somebody

Don't ask me what I really mean

I am just a reflection

Of what you really wanna see
Em A
So take what you want from me

Don't ask me what I really mean
Em A
I am just a reflection
Em A
Of what you really wanna see
Em A
So take what you want from me

Don't ask me what I really mean

I am just a reflection

Of what you really wanna see

So take what you want from me
