Mermaid chords by Train

I saw this song was wanted on this page, so I sat down attempting to figure out the
chords. I know it's not 100% correct, but it's a beginning. Hope you guys want to give me
feedback! :-)

I stayed there till the air was clear I was bored and out of tears

Ocean’s daughter, I thought love was out of reach

Till I got her, had I known it could come through

I would have wished in ’92, for a mermaid just like you


Whoa, just like you, whoa
Shocks, screams within… wonder what you see in me
Funny thoughts sometimes can’t help but wonder about as well
Now life is a holiday, making up for the years I paid
The weight of this heavenly…it went through h**l
Beauty in the water, angel on the beach
Ocean’s daughter, I thought love was out of reach
Till I got her, … I know it could come through
I would have wished in ’92, for a mermaid just like you
Whoa, just like you, whoa
Rescued you bout the … tree, all the girl fish in the sea
…they don’t have a handle on you, they don’t have a scandal on you
… saving me, once big, all the … in the sea
They all wish that they could be me
Can’t swim so I took a boat, to an island so remote
Only Johnny Depp has ever been to it before
Beauty in the water, angel on the beach
Ocean’s daughter, I thought love was out of reach
Till I got her, … I know it could come through
I would have wished in ’92, for a mermaid just like you
