Philly thinks and when he thinks he can't feel anymore

     But you can put in your orb what you're hoping for more

       | G           | F             | C     | Em
Like the gulls and the freighters they follow around

         | A         | Em              | A        | Em
And if the rowing gets dull just knock a hole in my hull

          | G   | F         | C 
And let the ocean swallow you down
