[Intro] E | E | D | D | E | E | D | D | [Verse 1]
            E           D
The raging muse got me locked up inside

            E      D
[tab]            E              D
The raging muse with her head open wide

     C
My heavenly bride
[Instrumental] E | E | [Verse 2]
   E                           D
I look at my feet and there's fish in the grass

      E                        D
The grass is so green and the fish are alive

                    E              D                      C
It's getting to lunchtime and the fish are all shimmering
[Chorus]
A                             F#m
They curl like numbers in the bright green blades

       D
Those fishes are feelings

            F#m
Yeah, those fishes are thoughts and they never get caught
[Instrumental] E | E | [Verse 3]
   E                               D
I look into my depths and there's fish in the grass

E                       D
Under the glass, those fishes will pass

  E                     D
This way and that, the cod and the sprat

        C
Constellation of the fishes
[Chorus]
A                               F#m
I look in your eyes and there's fish in the glass

  D                  F#m
Swimming in bowls of perfect red eyes

                  E
It's getting to teatime and the fish are all hungry

         D
And the fish are all shuddering
[Bridge 1]
A                     B                D
Ready to slither back into the pond to ungrow their legs

    F#m
And writhe on their fins like their ancestors did

F#m
Woo!
[Instrumental] E | E | [Bridge 2]
       E
Those fish in the grass

      D
How slowly they pass

         C
For your own sake

        E
Never step on them
[Verse 4]
            E           D
The raging muse got me locked up inside

            E      D
The raging muse so owns me

            E              D
The raging muse with her head open wide

     C
My heavenly bride
[Outro] E
