[Intro] E [Verse 1]
     D#                        G#m7  A#m7 E
I'm trying to leave my ocean home

      D#
I'm trying to leave my ocean

    G#m7               A#m7           E
Though I don't know nothing of the swamp

    D#                      G#m7  A#m7  E
And I could be a limbless star .. ooh   oohh

D#
Pushing at the sac

    G#m7      A#m7                  E
All ready to delight the lucid shoal
[Pre-Chorus]
E        D#
And you don't look impressed

G#m7             A#m7                E
I could be the dolphin of your dreams

         D#
Willing wings to my chest

G#m7              A#m7
One day I'll grow up and show you
[Chorus]
E                            B
Harpoons and monsoons won't keep me at bay

         G#m7
There's so much yet to happen

E                               B
My limbs, now my fins, now a film on my lips

      G#m7
And why you never call back

     E                         B
I'm older, I'm colder, I'm not coming good

     G#m7
A cherub in the ashtray
E [Verse 2]
          D#
Wriggling back to the source

     G#m7          A#m7                 E
And thrashing up the waterfalls for what?

            D#
Somewhere there is a place

    G#m7          A#m7                  E
And I could be the whale that takes it all
[Pre-Chorus]
    D#              G#m7  A#m7 E
But maybe I'm a lioness

       D#
And when I reach the shore I'll

G#m7          A#m7            E
Tear apart hyenas with no thought

       D#               G#m7  A#m7  E
Now organs in a glassy globe

         D#
And cloudy with potential

 G#m7            A#m7         E
Muscle mass and vertebrae begin
[Verse 3]
           D#
Trying to figure my place

     G#m7          A#m7             E
And feverish with all my dreams away

            D#
They don't notice me now

      G#m7          A#m7                 E          B   G#m7  F#
But I could be the whale that takes them all

     C#m7   G#m7  F#
Them all
[Chorus]
E                          B
Try this and try this and try this again

        G#m7
I'm never gonna make it

E                            B
Delete me, repeat me, let's try this again

       G#m7
A tiny little fish egg

     E                             B
Is homeless, and boneless, and drifting along

      G#m7
Just jelly in the blackness
E [Verse 4]
             D#
And inching up to the pole

 G#m7          A#m7                 E
Only to be lost among the white

            D#
Somewhere there is a place

     G#m7          A#m7                 E
And I could be a Pterodactyl God
[Outro]
     D#                        G#m7  A#m7   E
I'm trying to leave my ocean home
