Intro:
Em D
Verse 1:
Em This rock of ours is just some big mistake D And we will never know just where we go or where we have came, from Em These veins of mine are now some sort of fuse D And when they light up and my mind blows up, my heart is amused so Em This heart of mine is just some sort of map D That doesn't care at all or worry about, where the hell you're at but you're right there!
[Riff]
Verse 2:
Em Well I've been meaning to dismiss you, yeah I have some plans to dismiss you D So stand by, by, by, by, bye-bye, wave bye sugar boats! Em As soon as you paint every last grain of sand, as you soon as you paint every star, D In the sky, sky, sky, sky, sky, sky, wave bye sugar boats! Em Well, I’m swatting at mosquitoes as they’re orbiting me D I'm orbiting the sun and this goes on and on and on, you see Em This heart of mine is just some, some broke machine D And when it gets a-goin' and it often gets goin', it starts blowin' steam, here we go again!
[Riff]
Verse 3:
Em This rock of ours is just some big mistake D And we will never know just where we go, or where we have came, from Em This watch of mine is like some sort of void D Cause when I look in and I shouldn't look in I, I see it swallow my time, oh no there it goes!
[Riff]
Verse 4:
Em I ain't getting on no fast plane, hell, I ain't getting on no stuffy train D Sugar boats on the Atlantic are fine, the sugar boats, they're just fine Em I'll stand on the deck so you could see D I'll stand on the deck you could wave bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye Em bye, bye, bye, bye bye, bye, bye, D bye, bye, bye, bye bye, bye, bye, Em bye, bye, bye, bye bye, bye, bye, D bye, bye, bye, bye bye, bye, bye......
