Capo 2
 
INTRO: Am C F
 
VERSE:
 
Am
The sharks are circling
C
The water's getting clearer
F
Smiling with his six rows
F
The megalodon are nearer
 
Am
They go out in schools
C
Dream they are supreme
F
Cast insults our way, come on
F
We'll cast you down stream
 
Pre-Chorus
 
A
Oh-ooh-oh-oh
C
Oh-ooh-oh
F
There's a ghostly tread
G
Over-heard over head
A
Oh-ooh-oh-oh
C
Oh-ooh-oh
F
Footsteps in the canyon
G
Slip away until you've found them
 
[Refrão]
F G
They stop and stare
Am
A hundred eyes on you
 
But don't worry just do
C G
Those things that you do
 
F G
And so the girl cries
Am
But let's crack out the fan-fare
 
Here it for the good times
C G
Dry those dark eyes
 
VERSE
 
Am
They crack the whip
C
The acetone drips from the lip
F
Tut-tut finger wag
F
It takes 10 years to shake a tag
 
Am
But they wear theirs with pride
C
A septic thorn in society's side
F
We will rise above
F
Through the colour of our love
