[Intro]
F#m E D
In the clear you can hear the ocean
F#m E D
But every tide is washing up greater commotion
F#m E D
I admit I may have misspoken
F#m E D
But everything that you want is already broken
F#m E D
In the clear you can hear the ocean
F#m E D
But every tide is washing up greater commotion
F#m E D
I admit I may have misspoken
F#m E D
But everything that you want is already broken
[Chorus]
A
These stranger’s hands
C#m
Wrapped round my sickly spine
F#m E D
In these troubled times I call out to you
Dm
What else can I do
A C#m
Grow fat and rich off that currency
F#m E D
Oh, the pace I keep will catch up to me
Dm
Just wait and see
[Verse]
F#m
It’s hard to see
E
And harder to breathe
D
Beneath the surf
F#m
Whatever sums
E
Whatever comes
D
It must converge
F#m
And under your dress
E D
I may regress to infancy
F#m
And under, above
E D
There is no love like lunacy
[Chorus]
A
These stranger’s hands
C#m
Wrapped round my sickly spine
F#m E D
In these troubled times I call out to you
Dm
What else can I do
A C#m
But grow fat and rich off that currency
F#m E D
The pace I keep will catch up to me
Dm
I’ll just wait and see
[Chorus]
A
These stranger’s hands
C#m
Wrapped round my sickly spine
F#m E D
In these troubled times I call out to you
Dm
What else can I do
A C#m
Grow fat and rich off that currency
F#m E D
Oh, the pace I keep will catch up to me
Dm
I’ll just wait and see
[Outro]
F#m E D
I admit I may have misspoken
F#m E D
But everything that you want is already broken
F#m E D
In the clear you can hear the ocean
F#m E D
But every tide is washing up greater commotion
