C#m                  A
I still remember the words you said

F#m                       B       G#
They were hard enough to leave a mark

C#m                 A
And now they echo inside my head

F#m                B      G#
As I spiral down into the dark

A                 E
I windmill upside down

F#m                 C#m    B
Knowing you'll come at me again

A                      F#m
And I feel your shadow pass above me

Chorus:

Esus E  Esus E
Octopus

             Esus E  Esus E
Some kind of octopus

           Bm         F#m
Tearing my shell apart

            C#m   
Letting the sea get in

    A                           E
You make my insides outside

Verse 2:

C#m                  A
I don't think I ever saw you blink

F#m                         B      G#
You were so controlled that no one knew

C#m                    A
And by the time we all stopped to think

F#m                 B        G#
We were already too close to you

A                   E
Now you keep coming by

F#m             C#m        B
Telling me it's not what I think

      A             F#m
But I know a murder when I see one

Chorus:

Esus E  Esus E
Octopus

             Esus E  Esus E
Some kind of octopus

           Bm         F#m
Tearing my shell apart

            C#m   
Letting the sea get in

    A
You make my insides outside

Bridge:

A        B             A             B
And far above me I can see the world

A        B             A    B
Receding slowly out of view

A           B               A            B
The sinking feeling that my worst mistake

A           B                 A
Was all the time I spent with you

Verse 3:

N.C.
You said you're sorry, you said you'd try

But you never did, I guess we're done Now bits of pieces of me float by And I die in front of everyone And you're already gone Halfway to wherever you sleep And you make me wish I never met you Chorus:

Esus E  Esus E
Octopus

             Esus E  Esus E
Some kind of octopus

           Bm         F#m
Tearing my shell apart

            C#m   
Letting the sea get in

    A
You make my insides outside
