Chorus:
F# minorF#m
I spread like strawberries (I spread like strawberries)
F# minorF#m
I climb like peas and beans (I climb like peas and beans)
F# minorF#m
I've been sucking it in so long

That I'm busting at the seams

Bridge:
C majorC
In the middle of the day, it's like the sun
FF
But the Saharan one, it's staring me down
G+G
Forcing all forms of life inside of me
C majorC
to retreat underground

C majorC
It grows relentless like the teeth of a rat
FF
It's just got to keep on gnawing at me
G+G
And it constricts like a boa on a hose, nothing flows
C majorC
So the pressure grows instead of the seed

Verse 2:
F# minorF#m            B minorBm
People like us get so heavy and so lost sometimes
D MajorD             B minorBm
So lost and so heavy that the bottom is the only place we can find

F# minorF#m            B minorBm
You get dragged down, down to the same spot enough times in a row
D MajorD             B minorBm
The bottom begins to feel like the only safe place that you know

Chorus:
F# minorF#m
But you know what? I spread like strawberries (I spread like strawberries)
F# minorF#m
I climb like peas and beans (I climb like peas and beans)
F# minorF#m
I've been sucking it in so long
F# minorF#m
That I'm busting at the seams

F# minorF#m
I spread like strawberries (I spread like strawberries)
F# minorF#m
I climb like peas and beans (I climb like peas and beans)
F# minorF#m
I've been sucking it in so long
B minorBm
That I'm busting at the seams
