Heather Nova / Glow Stars (1993) / Shell [Verse 1]
Am
 Look at me I'm smooth like a shell

E                   G
 Put your head down, you can hear the ocean

 Am
 Hold my body, feel it roll

E                        G
 So much inside and it's all been broken
[Pre-Chorus]
F    G             Am                    G
You know it's just one step out it could all be over

F   G               Am                  G
You know this could rip us out at the seams
[Chorus]
Am            F               G
I'm falling, it's all in your hands

                    Am
Don't let it wash away

            F             G
I'm aching, don't take it all away

                     Am
Breaking the shell again
[Verse 2]
Am
Look at me I'm out on the edge

E                   G
Put your hand here, see I'm bleeding

Am
I can't get it, get the light out

E                G
I can't seem to tear out the feeling
[Pre-Chorus]
F    G             Am                    G
You know it's just one step out it could all be over

F   G               Am                  G
You know this could rip us out at the seams
[Chorus]
Am            F               G
I'm falling, it's all in your hands

                    Am
Don't let it wash away

            F             G
I'm aching, don't take it all away

                     Am
Breaking the shell again
[Instrumental] Am E G (2x) [Bridge]
       Am
I am a box, I am a fish, I am a trail, I keep you warm

         E
And I remember stripping down to meet the water, wading out

               Am
to where the sky turns under

                         E
My insides smooth like a shell, like a shell
[Pre-Chorus]
F    G             Am                    G
You know it's just one step out it could all be over

F   G               Am                  G
You know this could rip us out at the seams
[Chorus]
Am            F               G
I'm falling, it's all in your hands

                    Am
Don't let it wash away

            F             G
I'm aching, don't take it all away

                     Am
Breaking the shell again
[Outro]
Am
Look at me I'm smooth like a shell

E                 G               Am
Put your head in, hear the ocean roar
