C        Am           F         G             C  Am  F  G
Come and open up your   folding chair next to me
C           Am            F    G             C      Am  F  G
My feet are buried in the sand and there's a breeze
C           Am      F         G      C    Am  F  G
  There's a shadow, you can't see my eyes
C         Am            F      G              C     Am
  And the sea is just a wetter version of the skies

                
F     G            C      Am      F     G           C   Am  F
Let's get a silver bullet trailer   and have a baby boy,
     G              C           Am       F         G            C    Am  F
I'll safety pin his clothes all cool and you'll graffiti up his toys
     G             C    Am   F     G              C   Am  F
I've got a perfect bo - ody,   but sometimes I forge__et
     G             C    Am            F         G        C
I've got a perfect bo - dy, 'cause my eyelashes catch my sweat,
         Am       F    G
Yes they do, they do___o

Now I've been sitting on this   abandoned beach for years
C               Am    F        G           C    Am  F  G
Waiting for the salty water to cover up my ears
C           Am       F          G             C    Am  F  G
  But every time the tide comes in to take me home
C       Am     F         G             C     Am              F       G
  I get scared   now I'm sitting here alone, dreaming of the dolphin song

G             C
Maybe one day you'll understand
       F                            C                 G 
That I want nothing from you but to sweetly hold your hand
G                  C
'Til that day just please don't be so down
F                    G                  N.C.
  Don't make frowns,   you silly clown. Just...
