Intro: Em Am C / Am Em
verse 1:
Em Am
No, Marbella's on the run,
C / Am Em
In her eastern overcoat.
Em Am
Used to wear a lightbulb dressing gown
C / Am
Turn it on, then tear it down.
Em
Before we went to sleep.
Em Am
So Marbella upped and left,
C / Am Em
a tuba in a treble clef.
Em Am
Couldn't walk, she wouldn't cry
C / Am
Dreaming was their only time
Em
Dreams are half asleep
Chorus:
Em Am
When they go sing out, sea out, sea out, sing out, sing out now
C / Am Em
Sea out now, sing out now
Em Am
Sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out now
C / Am Em
Sea out now, sing out now
verse 2:
Em Am
So a washed up carnival
C / Am Em
has just reduced me to my bones
Em Am
I never did the washing up
C / Am
I loved the stains on every cup
Em
They were the only hint I had
Em Am
Now Marbella's gone astray
C / Am Em
somewhere in this blackening Milky Way
Em Am
I used to colour in the holes
C / Am
Now I leave them blank
Em
Now it's only spaces I have cause to thank
Chorus:
Em Am
Sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out now
C / Am Em
Sing out now, sea out now
Em Am
Sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out now
C / Am Em
Sing out now, sing out
verse 3:
Em Am
Well, Marbella is my guest,
C / Am Em
I treat her just like all the rest
Em Am
Whisper fairytales of Neverland
C / Am
Throw the pennies in her hand
Stroke her hair
Em
and tell her I've been cheating
Chorus:
Em Am
Sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out now
C / Am Em
Sing out now, sing out now
Em Am
Sea out, sea out, sea out, sea out, sea out now
C / Am Em
Sing out now, sing out now
