Girl in the fishbowl
Bart Thrupp
l C F l Am Bm l C G l Dm F :l
Verse I
I really dig your mirrored writing,
Did you know that I can do that too?
And I can solve a Rubik’s cube,
But oh my god, I just can’t figure out how to say this to you.
Verse II
l C F l Am Bm l C G l Dm F :l
Would I fit in among your flowers?
I’d be happy just to be inside the room
And it’s a shame about the things we cannot change
Like I’m 17, and you’re 22.
Pre-chorus
l G l F l G l F l
It’s a shame about our ages
Because I know you feel it too,
When I like Disney movies, Thai food,
And giant robots too.
Chorus
l G C l Dm Am :l
Here I am,
In love with the girl in the fishbowl,
But I’m the one, who’s captured here outside the glass,
I don’t want to be the one to fog up the window,
But it seems like I’m the only one I know,
In love with the girl in the fishbowl.
Verse III
l C F l Am Bm l C G l Dm F :l
Despite this new revelation,
I still doubt we’d be two, against the grain.
And if you ask me, we’re perfect together
Except that you like Star Wars even more than me
Pre-chorus
l G l F l G l F l
It’s a shame about our ages
Because I know you feel it too,
When I like Disney movies, Thai food,
And giant robots too.
Chorus
l G C l Dm Am :l
Here I am,
In love with the girl in the fishbowl,
But I’m the one, who’s captured here outside the glass,
I don’t want to be the one to fog up the window,
But it seems like I’m the only one I know,
In love with the girl in the fishbowl.
Solo
l C F l Am Bm l C G l Dm F :l
Pre Chorus
l G l F l G l F l
It’s a shame about our ages
Because I know you feel it too,
When I like Disney movies, Thai food,
And giant robots too.
Pre Chorus 2
l G l F l G l F l
And if you happen to fall in love with me
It doesn’t matter the time or day,
You know where to find me
And all I’ll have to say,
Chorus
l G C l Dm Am :l
Here I am,
In love with the girl in the fishbowl,
But I’m the one, who’s captured here outside the glass,
I don’t want to be the one to fog up the window,
But it seems like I’m the only one I know,
In love with the girl in the fishbowl.
