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

F#m
I spread like strawberries (I spread like strawberries)

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

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

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

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

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

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