Verse
Ab G F G (x2)
Ab G
If I were you and you were me, shalalala
F G
You could see it's more than just a whale song
Ab G
More than random flowers bursting from my mouth
F G
More than shit whispered into the crook of my arm
Ab G F G
Ab G
And not unlike the murmurings, the murmurings coming from caves
F G
With their mouths, their mouths against the sea
Ab G
I, I, I, I am the singer at the bottom, bottom, of the well
F G
Or I am just one, one of many, bathing beauties
Ab G
And all along the beach
F G
You can hear, you can hear it getting whispered down the line
Ab G F G
Going, "Song instead of a kiss, baby, this is a song instead of a kiss."
Ab G F G
Ab G
And is that, that the saddest thing to know?
F G
Oh, is that, that the saddest thing to know?
Ab G
You're saying, no, it's not the saddest thing to know
F G
Oh, you say, no, it's not the saddest thing to know
Ab G
And I could see you've made a garden
F G
From the flowers growing out of my remains, remains, remains
Ab G
And I would say it's not the way I would have had them
F G
But I would also say that it will work just the same
Ab
"And here we see the shovel, and here the hanging vine
G
Here is where the heart was, and here we see the spine
F
And here is where he'll sing, and here is where you'll stand
G
And here we see the path from where your other lovers ran
Ab
Here we see the pond - It's where the whale will stay
G
Wondering what happened to freedom, and grace
F
There will be a whole entire garden at the end of this
G Ab G
There will be a song, instead of a kiss"
F G
Instead of a kiss
Ab G
Ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
F G
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-oohooh-ooh-ooh
