Verse 1:

C          F            G
Dreamer. Earth child.
C               Am
I knew you long ago
C                       F
But its all in the past.
C                F              G
Come down, I'd follow you.
C               Am
I shouldn't feel like I do,
C                       F
But I've made up my mind.
Am              C
And its all I can do to sit still.
C           F           G
Mermaid. Arctic stars.
C               Am
Locked by land.
G               C               F
Please don't hold on to my hand.
C               Am
Oh lady of the sea its gone to far.

C                       F
I could never keep you alive in a jar.
C                                  Am           G
Well I never meant to be so I’ll just keep quiet


Chorus 1:
C
But I'd still wear your scarf.
C               F               G
Yo oh oh 3x
C               F                               G
Desert plains, So far from where we'd set sail.
C               Am
Lost my stick,
F               C               Am
I still go round looking for water.

Interlude 2:
C               Am
Oh lady of the sea its gone too far,
C                               F
I could never keep you alive in a jar.
C                       Am
I could never say that I was falling for you.
Chorus 2:
G
But I'd still wear your scarf.
C               F               G
Yo oh oh 3x

Verse 3:
C               F
I'd never question my place,
G                       C               F
But I can't wipe this smile off my face.
G               C               F
And I feel like there's nothing to say,
G               C               F
So please heart just leave it that way.

Chorus 3:
C               F               G
Yo oh oh 3x
