Intro:
Em D
Verse 1:
EmThis rock of ours is just some big mistake
And we will Dnever know just where we go or where we have came, from
EmThese veins of mine are now some sort of fuse
And when Dthey light up and my mind blows up, my heart is amused so
EmThis heart of mine is just some sort of map
That doesn't Dcare at all or worry about, where the hell you're at but you're right there!
[Riff]
Verse 2:
EmWell I've been meaning to dismiss you, yeah I have some plans to dismiss you
So stand Dby, by, by, by, bye-bye, wave bye sugar boats!
EmAs soon as you paint every last grain of sand, as you soon as you paint every star,
In the Dsky, sky, sky, sky, sky, sky, wave bye sugar boats!
EmWell, I’m swatting at mosquitoes as they’re orbiting me
I'm orbitDing the sun and this goes on and on and on, you see
EmThis heart of mine is just some, some broke machine
And when Dit gets a-goin' and it often gets goin', it starts blowin' steam, here we go again!
[Riff]
Verse 3:
EmThis rock of ours is just some big mistake
And we will Dnever know just where we go, or where we have came, from
EmThis watch of mine is like some sort of void
Cause when DI look in and I shouldn't look in I, I see it swallow my time, oh no there it goes!
[Riff]
Verse 4:
EmI ain't getting on no fast plane, hell, I ain't getting on no stuffy train
Sugar Dboats on the Atlantic are fine, the sugar boats, they're just fine
EmI'll stand on the deck so you could see
I'll stand on the deck you could wave Dbye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
Embye, bye, bye, bye bye, bye, bye,
Dbye, bye, bye, bye bye, bye, bye,
Embye, bye, bye, bye bye, bye, bye,
Dbye, bye, bye, bye bye, bye, bye......
