Intro F# D#m B G#m C#
F#
So here's where I've erred
D#m
Here's what I've done
B
I found a crack in my glass
G#m C# F#
But it was pretty half-empty to start
So out with the old
D#m
And bring on the new
B
Because to fix what I had
G#m C#
Was a pretty hard thing to do
D#m F# C#
But she said that I found a lot of oysters these days
D#m F# C#
Yes I've found a lot of oysters these days
D#m F# C#
And with all comes a pearl and a pretty hard shell to break
D#m F# C#
Yes, I've found a lot of oysters these days
F# D#m
I look to the sun, but I'm closing my eyes
B
Though my mother had said it
G#m C# F#
I was quick to look into the sky
D#m
And all through the pain, I'd sworn that I'd try
B G#m C#
And with big sunglasses, she stood there firm by my side
D#m F# C#
And she said that I found a lot of oysters these days
D#m F# C#
Yes I've found a lot of oysters these days
D#m F# C#
And with all comes a pearl and a pretty hard shell to break
D#m F# C#
Yes, I've found a lot of oysters these days

And with all comes a pearl and a pretty hard shell to break
