Verse 1
D        Em7 D          Em7  
 I lie below, you float above
D                       Em7              D            Em7
 In the pretty white ships that I've been dreaming of
        G              A7sus4
And I'd like to swim beside you
        G             A7sus4
Getting dizzy in your wake
        G               A7sus4
Getting close enough to touch you
        G               A7sus4           D
Getting brave enough to take you into my arms
              Cadd9           G/B
And bring you down to be with me

Chorus 1

 But I can't do that thing anymore
G(2)     D/F#   Em7           Bsus2 Bm
 I can't be the thing I was before
G(2)   D/F# Em7    A7   D
 Maybe I am better off alone
        G       A7             G       A7
Because I crush everything and I crush everything 
    G       A7   D
and I crush everything

Intro Riff

Verse 2
D          Em7    D               Em7
 My body's strong, but my will is weak
D                  Em7        D            Em7
 I got pretty nice arms, but I hate my beak
        G                A7sus4
And the dolphins are all phonies
          G              A7sus4
They seem nice enough at first
            G               A7sus4
But they pretend to be your friend
           G               A7sus4              D
Until they see you at your worst and then they leave you
          Cadd9          G/B
Without a word they swim away

Chorus 2

 So I can't do that thing anymore

 I can't be the thing I was before
G(2)   D/F# Em7    A7   D
 Maybe I am better off alone
        G       A7             G       A7
Because I crush everything and I crush everything 
    G       A7   Bm
and I crush everything

Bridge
          Bm      F#m    Em  G(2)
And every thing I want I take
          Bm      F#m    Em   G(2)
And every thing I love I break
          Bm      F#m  Em  G(2)
And every night I lie awake

Intro Riff

Verse 3
D                   Em7  D                   Em7
 Did the stars come out?  Did the world spin round?
D                    Em7                          Em7
 Does it matter that much when you're ten miles down?
       G                  A7sus4
In the light that filters down
        G            A7sus4
Into my giant yellow eye
      G               A7sus4
I can see the sails unfolding
           G                 A7sus4       D
Stretching white against the sky and I forgive them
     Cadd9          G/B
I forgive and I let go

 I can't be the thing I was before
G(2)   D/F# Em7    A7   D
 Maybe I am better off alone
        G       A7             G       A7
Because I crush everything and I crush everything 
    G       A7   D
and I crush everything
