[Verse 1]
Am
Lost in the iron sea of endless rolling roofs

Dm              Am             F                         E
We're going for glory, kids -- your dad has something to prove

Am
You see its not enough to just have hope when lost

Dm                           Am        F               E
You must have the highest of hopes and hold out at all cost

Dm                   Am
That's why as I tack across this parking garage

Dm                          Am
I nor spotted the entry and aim for the drivers mirage

Dm                                         Am
The unspeakable beauty of free land at the front of the store

Dm                 Am                   E          E7      Am
And yet this takes vision and steadfast courage to aim for more
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                      E
All the early spots are clearly reserved for thе meek

F                                                 E
A spot equidistant to store and ticket machinе we seek
[Chorus]
Dm                       Am
We hunt the white whale, the holy grail!

Dm                       E
The park in front of the store

Dm                       Am
We hunt the white whale, the holy grail!

Dm                   Am                  F       E       Am
With gusto and glee, sing it with me, we dare to ask for more!
[Verse 2]
Am
My child jolts me to attention, Land Ho! does he scream!

Dm              Am                   F           E
I pinch myself, and sure enough, the space of my dreams

Am
The sharks begin to circle, I indicate my intention

Dm                     Am               F            E
Just know this parking space is mine, I show no apprehension

Dm                     Am
Yet as I approach, one thing is painfully clear

Dm                              Am
Other cars with blinking lights starting to appear

Dm
Back off green van, I see your plan!

Am
Don't think about it, blue sedan!

Dm                       Am
This spot is mine, we'll hold our ground

E                 E7         Am
There's no better land to be found!
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                      E
All the early spots are clearly reserved for thе meek

F                                                 E
A spot equidistant to store and ticket machinе we seek
[Chorus]
Dm                       Am
We hunt the white whale, the holy grail!

Dm                       E
The park in front of the store

Dm                       Am
We hunt the white whale, the holy grail!

Dm                   Am                  F       E       Am
With gusto and glee, sing it with me, we dare to ask for more!
[Verse 3]
Am
As we bring her 'round, I find to my dismay

Dm              Am                   F           E
A little hatchback hiding there is taking up half the bay

Am
With hope dashed against the rocks and petrol light now on

Dm                  Am           F           E
Perhaps my nerve is waning, a retreat before too long

Dm                      Am
No! Hold fast, and cast away all dread!

Dm                                 Am
There'll be spaces that we seek in the times ahead

Dm                  Am
Sure, some may say, any park in a store

Dm                   Am                 E   E7   Am
But only the bravest captain finds his true reward
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                      E
All the early spots are clearly reserved for thе meek

F                                                 E
A spot equidistant to store and ticket machinе we seek
[Chorus]
Dm                       Am
We hunt the white whale, the holy grail!

Dm                       E
The park in front of the store

Dm                       Am
We hunt the white whale, the holy grail!

Dm                   Am                  F       E       Am
With gusto and glee, sing it with me, we dare to ask for more!
[Final Chorus]
Dm                       Am
We hunt the white whale, the holy grail!

Dm                       E
The park in front of the store

Dm                       Am
We hunt the white whale, the holy grail!
