Bm Fill 1
I heard the sirens call

Deep within the oceans crawl

Verse 1:
Bm Fill 1
Wanna live underwater homes
G Fill 2
A place to rest my weary bones
Bm Fill 1
In the forests made of jellyfish
G Fill 2 Bm
Where mystery's more than just a wish
Fill 1
And now the surface is my sky
G Fill 2
We smoke seaweed, to get real high
Bm Fill 1
And the current tide drags me far away
G Fill 2
Out to the deeps, leaves me here to stay
Bm Fill 1
And I know I'm better off there
G Fill 2
I know we'd all be better off there
Bm Fill 1
Better off

Keep your life-jacket on

I never wanted to have to write this song
Bm Fill 1 G Bm
I was right there, I waiting for your hands to grasp

Waiting for your hands to grasp at the air

You said you'd be right back

You said you'd be right back

You gave a thousand motherfuckers heart attacks

Deep within the oceans crawl

The helicopter overshadows the day

The military police came and they left
Bm Fill 1
And when the rain came it washed it all away
G
On that mournful Sunday
