C                              Am
I'd climb the highest mountain

                              C
I'd swim the deepest ocean

                                Am
I'd walk along the longest path

To be with you

       G
If you want me to.

[Verse 2]

E                             C#m
I'd solve the hardest puzzle

                             E
And read the boringest book

                               C#m
I'd hold the hottest substance

           (B)
you know.

[Verse 3]

D
I'd solve the hardest puzzle

F#m
 And race the fastest animal

A
Eat the biggest meal

                   D
To be with you, Coco.

Jemaine: It's a bit long. Bret: OK. Jemaine: It's two hours long. Bret: Yeah. Anything else ? Jemaine: hmm yeah. More to it (turning the pages) Jemaine: OK. I'd climb the highest mountain, would you actually do that? Bret: Probably not. Jemaine: But you're sort of promising that you would. Bret: It's just a metaphore. Jemaine: Ah ok! What's it a metaphore for? Bret: That I'd do anything for her. Jemaine: Would you climb the highest mountain for her? Bret: Oh no, I see. I wouldn't do all of this stuff. Jemaine: Would you swallow a whole sword? Bret: A sword... I could probably not do that either. Jemaine: Maybe you should write more realistic things you'd do, some other things. Bret: Like what? Jemaine: I would hang out with you. Bret: Oh that's good. That's really good. Jemaine: That's not bad. It's a lyric of mine, you can use it. Bret: Just hang out with you... Jemaine: What about making it with more personal things about her, what do you know that is specific to Coco? Bret: She has a rash she doesn't tell anyone about. Jemaine: Whatelse? Bret: She likes food. Her flatmate is called Stewart. Jemaine: Yeah... this is all good stuff. The radio version is available here (I might transcribe it later): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ5CGiTid6I&list=PL6D23FC130AA6672B&index=18 If anyone has the 1 hour and 59 minutes of lyrics missing to this beautiful (even if somewhat unpersonnal) song, I would love to hear them.
