[Verse 1]
G
I was in an ocean on a mercury mixture
C Bm D Am
Filling my lungs, completely ruined
G
You were something mythical, never imaginable
C Bm D Am
Always desirable, softer than noon
G
I somehow trusted my desires again
C Bm D Am
Knowing their peace was like a restless child
G
I somehow trusted the stillness of a year
C Bm D Am
Like the stillness of ripples or the stillness of light

[Chorus]
C Bm D
And by now all purpose and thought has dissolved in salt
G
Just to scale your invisible skin
C Bm
Hiding beneath the waves and smiles and pleasant hand gestures
D G
The dark figure's forming beneath the boat I was in
C Bm D
And by now all purpose and thought has dissolved in salt
G
Just to scale your invisible skin
C Bm
Hiding beneath the waves and smiles and pleasant hand gestures
D
The dark figure's forming

[Verse 2]
G
As the evening makes her closing remarks
C Bm D Am
I’m frightened by the thought of you in another hand
G
I’ll gather all the coins from my dresser drawer
C Bm D Am
To take you to this forever foreign land
G
Outside it’s a furnace but I’ll keep you in the bathtub
C Bm D Am
I’ll keep you ever clutching the corners of my mouth
G
I’ll gather all the coins the ones I’m desperately counting on
C Bm D Am
And I’ll be there waiting with my will or without
F Am C
F Am C
F Am C A
[Chorus]
C Bm D
And by now our purpose and thought has dissolved in salt
G
It’s not dark, just remarkably dim
C Bm
Hiding from the town between some trees watching our house burning
D G
And dark figures forming around me and within
C Bm D
And by now our purpose and thought has dissolved in salt
G
It’s not dark, just remarkably dim
C Bm
Hiding beneath the waves and smiles and pleasant hand gestures
D G
And dark figures forming around me and within
G G C Bm D Am
G G C Bm D Am
G
As the evening makes her closing remarks
C
We sat a while recollecting Sunday drives
G
As the evening makes her closing remarks
C
We sat a while, yeah we sat and we talked
G C
As the evening makes her closing remarks
G C
As the evening makes her closing remarks
