Chords

[Verse 1]
C                                      G
When the silent treatment gets so loud it's buzzing in my head

C                                      G
Your lips are moving, tells I should be somewhere else instead

F           C         G
Ooh, take a chance on today
[Chorus]
G                  Am
She said she was a mermaid

Am                 G     F
She said she liked horses

F                            Am
And then the silence finally breaks

Am                     F
You took all you could take

F              C
There's no one there

F
So you try to minimize it

Am
Then you try to compromise it

F                             G
No one really, really, really cares
[Verse 2]
C                                          G
In the city streets are filled with sheets of raindrops filled with bile

C                              G
The silence is so deafening it somehow makes me smile

F           C      G
Ooh, take a chance on tonight
[Chorus]
G                      Am
But she said she was a mermaid

Am                 G     F
She said she liked horses

F                  Am
She said she loved unicorns

Am                   G     F
I'd never bet on the dragon

F                        Am
When the silence finally breaks

Am                     F
You took all you could take

F      C
No one cares

F
And still you try to minimize it

Am
Then you try to compromise it

F                               G
No one's really, really, really there
[Verse 3]
C                                      G
When the ice melts off the lake and it reflects on what is fake

C                                            G
And you're skating somewhere, swimming I was losing every race

F               C            G
Ooh, one stolen moment might turn out right
[Chorus]
G                  Am
She said she was a mermaid

Am                 G      F
She said she liked horses

F                Am
Never bet on the unicorn

Am               G      F
Never bet on the dragon

F                        Am
When the silence finally breaks

Am                       F
You find out just what's fake

F              C
There's no one there

F
So you try to minimize it

Am
Then you try to compromise it

F                                   G
Cause no one really, really, really cares
