[Intro]
Dm Bb 2x
[Verse 1]
Dm
I planned a dream inside a dream
Bb
With your uncle
Dm
A fisherman who died
Bb
The oracle of the maritimes
Dm
Too cloudy to see fireworks
Bb
We would ride
Dm
A chest of drawers into the waves
Bb Dm
His granite hand held mi-i-i-ine
[Transition 1]
Bb
I asked him how to tell you
Gm
How much I could love you
Bb
'Cause I've never been so sure of anything
Dm Bb
Dm Bb
[Verse 2]
Dm
Sometimes I feel so beautiful
Bb Dm
It's strange for a tomboy
Bb
Bruises up her legs
Dm Bb
Your big hand holds my fa-ay-ay-ayce
Dm
Sometimes I feel so ugly
Bb Dm
I'm afraid, worry nesting in my hair
Bb
Shedding like a Christmas tree
Gm Bb Dm
Surely there's a real woman coming to erase me
[Transition 2]
Bb
There's no way I could tell you
Gm
How much I could love you
Bb
'Cause I've never been so scared of anything
Dm
[Transition 3]
Gm Dm
And I'm not even wearing underwear
Bb Gm
In no way exotic, I just forgot to
Bb Dm
And I'm too much for people, so I gauge
Bb Gm
And shout my thoughts at you from a distance
[Transition 4]
Bb
That's no way to tell you
Gm
How much I could love you
Bb Dm
Though I've never been so sure of anything
[Break]
Dm Dm Dm
Gm Bb Dm Dm
[Outro]
Dm
He let go of my hand
Bb Dm
And passed me an oar
Bb
The oracle of the maritimes
Gm Bb
He said "Come on, sweet girl, let's find you an ocean
Dm Bb
That goes with your ey-ey-ey-eyes"
Gm Bb
He said "Come on, sweet girl, let's find you an ocean
Dm Bb
That goes with your ey-ey-ey-eyes"
