Chords with lyrics

Intro:
BB G# minorG#m E MajorE  BB G# minorG#m E MajorE

Verse 1:
BB     G# minorG#m      E MajorE
 I am a mermaid that you dreamt
BB      G# minorG#m      E MajorE
 Swimming away while you slept
BB     G# minorG#m E MajorE
 4th of July, kegs of beer
     BB     G# minorG#m       E MajorE
Baby, we had a nice time but I don't really fit in here


Chorus:
BB        G# minorG#m    E MajorE
 You pulled me up to your bedroom
     BB        G# minorG#m   E MajorE
I fell in love, I fell in love too soon
    BB     G# minorG#m       E MajorE
I don't know the intention of your heart
    BB         G# minorG#m         E MajorE
I don't know why it's been scary from the start
      BB         G# minorG#m     E MajorE
And I don't know how you don't know how to apologize
      BB       G# minorG#m      E MajorE
So I'll be almost to the ocean when you open your eyes

Post-Chorus:
BB  G# minorG#m     E MajorE
 Oh,  swimming away


Verse 2:
BB           G# minorG#m       E MajorE
 What's the point of California if we don't go to the beach?
BB           G# minorG#m           E MajorE
 What's the point of being friends when we're both so hard to reach?
BB           G# minorG#m       E MajorE
 What's the point of all the midnight text messages you send?
    BB         G# minorG#m        E MajorE
I can't help but break in half each time you ask me to bend
    BB      G# minorG#m      E MajorE
I can't help but unravel when you pull out a thread
    BB    G# minorG#m      E MajorE
I just lose my mind when you mess with my head
      BB        G# minorG#m     E MajorE
And I will always throw a tantrum if you throw me just some bone
       BB      G# minorG#m        E MajorE
I'm not your puppy, I'm a famous fish, who'd rather swim alone

Chorus:
BB        G# minorG#m    E MajorE
 You pulled me up to your bedroom
     BB        G# minorG#m   E MajorE
I fell in love, I fell in love too soon
    BB     G# minorG#m       E MajorE
I don't know the intention of your heart
    BB         G# minorG#m         E MajorE
I don't know why it's been scary from the start
      BB         G# minorG#m     E MajorE
And I don't know how you don't know how to apologize
      BB       G# minorG#m      E MajorE
So I'll be almost to the ocean when you open your eyes


Post-Chorus:

BB G# minorG#m E MajorE

BB  G# minorG#m     E MajorE
 Oh,  swimming away
BB  G# minorG#m     E MajorE
 Oh,  swimming away
BB  G# minorG#m     E MajorE
 Oh,  swimming away
BB  G# minorG#m     E MajorE
 Oh,  swimming away
BB  G# minorG#m     E MajorE
 Oh,  swimming away
BB  G# minorG#m     E MajorE
 Oh,  swimming away


Outro:
