Intro: A augmentedA (A augmentedA) (A augmentedA) E MajorE
Verse 1:
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
I still remember the words you said
F# minorF#m BB G#G#
They were hard enough to leave a mark
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
And now they echo inside my head
F# minorF#m BB G#G#
As I spiral down into the dark
A augmentedA E MajorE
I windmill upside down
F# minorF#m C# minorC#m BB
Knowing you'll come at me again
A augmentedA F# minorF#m
And I feel your shadow pass above me
Chorus:
EsusEsus E MajorE EsusEsus E MajorE
Octopus
EsusEsus E MajorE EsusEsus E MajorE
Some kind of octopus
B minorBm F# minorF#m
Tearing my shell apart
C# minorC#m
Letting the sea get in
A augmentedA E MajorE
You make my insides outside
Verse 2:
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
I don't think I ever saw you blink
F# minorF#m BB G#G#
You were so controlled that no one knew
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
And by the time we all stopped to think
F# minorF#m BB G#G#
We were already too close to you
A augmentedA E MajorE
Now you keep coming by
F# minorF#m C# minorC#m BB
Telling me it's not what I think
A augmentedA F# minorF#m
But I know a murder when I see one
Chorus:
EsusEsus E MajorE EsusEsus E MajorE
Octopus
EsusEsus E MajorE EsusEsus E MajorE
Some kind of octopus
B minorBm F# minorF#m
Tearing my shell apart
C# minorC#m
Letting the sea get in
A augmentedA
You make my insides outside
Bridge:
A augmentedA BB A augmentedA BB
And far above me I can see the world
A augmentedA BB A augmentedA BB
Receding slowly out of view
A augmentedA BB A augmentedA BB
The sinking feeling that my worst mistake
A augmentedA BB A augmentedA
Was all the time I spent with you
Verse 3:
N.C.
You said you're sorry, you said you'd try
But you never did, I guess we're done
Now bits of pieces of me float by
And I die in front of everyone
And you're already gone
Halfway to wherever you sleep
And you make me wish I never met you
Chorus:
EsusEsus E MajorE EsusEsus E MajorE
Octopus
EsusEsus E MajorE EsusEsus E MajorE
Some kind of octopus
B minorBm F# minorF#m
Tearing my shell apart
C# minorC#m
Letting the sea get in
A augmentedA
