[Intro]
Dm F C x2
[Verse 1]
Dm F G I thought that I was hungry for love Dm F G Maybe I'm just hungry for blood Dm G Sea foam woman on the shore Am C Your prairie ghost, I'm a cottage whore Dm G All the mermaids have sharp teeth Am C Razorblades all in your feet
[Instrumental]
Dm F A
Dm F A G
[Verse 2]
Dm F England is only ever grey or green A A The girls glitter striding glorious and coatless in the rain Dm F I remember fallin' through these streets A A Somewhat out of place, if not for the drunkenness
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm F It makes my chest hurt to think of it A A Not of regret, but of missing that
[Chorus]
Dm F Cheerful oblivion A G Cheerful oblivion
[Verse 3]
Dm F It was not all pain and pavement slick with rain Am G And shinin' under lights from shitty clubs and doing shitty drugs Dm F Am G And huggin' girls that smelled like Britney Spears and coconuts Dm F And with your mermaid hair and your teeth so sharp Am G You crawled from the sea to break that sailor's heart Dm F You only get one night up on the shore Am G So dance like you've never danced before Dm F And the dance floor is filling up with blood Am G But, oh, Lord, you've never been so in love
[Chorus]
Dm F Am G Cheerful oblivion Dm F Cheerful oblivion Am G Cheerful oblivion
[Bridge]
F And mermaids, they come once a year G They climb the struts of Brighton Pier Am They come to drink, they come to dance Em To sacrifice a human heart F G And the world is so much wilder than you think Am Am You haven't seen nothin' 'til you seen an English girl drink
[Chorus]
Dm F Am G Cheerful oblivion Dm F Cheerful oblivion Am G Cheerful oblivion Dm F Cheerful oblivion Am G Cheerful oblivion
[Outro]
Dm F A
Dm F A G
