Verse:
             F# minorF#m
You look different every time
  FF       A minorAm      E minorEm
You come from the foam-crested brine
     F# minorF#m      FF      A minorAm E minorEm
It's your skin shining softly in the moonlight
    F# minorF#m     FF        A minorAm     E minorEm
Partly fish, partly porpoise, partly baby sperm whale
   F# minorF#m      FF    A minorAm  E minorEm
A minorAm I yours? Are you mine to play with?
F# minorF#m   FF
Joking apart
       A minorAm       E minorEm
When you're drunk you're terrific
      F# minorF#m       FF
When you're drunk I like you mostly
    A minorAm          E minorEm
Late at night, you're quite alright

   Ebmaj7Ebmaj7   Cm7Cm7         Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
But I can't understand the different you
    Ebmaj7Ebmaj7      C minorCm Cm7Cm7 Cm6Cm6
In the morning when it's time to play
           D MajorD
At being human for a while
    E7E7
Please smile

Verse:
              F# minorF#m    FF
You'll be different in the spring, I know
     A minorAm    E minorEm
You're a seasonal beast
     F# minorF#m      FF        A minorAm       E minorEm
Like the starfish that drift in with the tide, with the tide
  F# minorF#m    FF       A minorAm         E minorEm
So until your blood runs to meet the next full moon
   F# minorF#m       FF       A minorAm      E minorEm
Your madness fits in nicely with my own, with my own
   F# minorF#m     FF       A minorAm
Your lunacy fits neatly with my own
FF    A minorAm
My very own

FF A minorAm (x5)

FF     D MajorD
We're not alone
