As recorded by Big Thief (From the 2017 Album CAPACITY) [Intro] G Am D G [Verse 1]
G    Am  D               G
Mercury, creeping on the sea

        Am     D                   G
How she wails, flails her arms and weeps

 Gmaj7 Bm7        C
Accumulation of debris

G     Em Am D             G
Lips apart, flapping as a lark

    Gmaj7  Bm              C
For in the dark there is release
[Chorus]
Am          F                               G
Every familiarity scarce as the great white shark
[Interlude] G Am D G [Verse 2]
G      Am    D                 G
Oh, to build walls with golden gills

         Am    D              G 
Spike in hand, high above the sand

   Gmaj7    Bm    Em C
To kill the sanctuary

Am 
Every mile that is owned

Fmaj7                    G                    
Only stands still by the grace of the stone
[Interlude] Em G Em G Em G Em [Chorus]
Am          F                               G
Every familiarity scares as the great white shark
[Interlude] G Am D G [Verse 3]
G                 Am
Look, daughter an owl

D             G
Listen to her howl

Gmaj7         Bm                    C
I howled when you were born through me

    Am                         Fmaj7
And you're alive with a breath you can't see

           D             G
Oh, by the grace of this dream
