* I am not completely sure how the intro/verse is best played, so I've included alternative chords.
* Chord placement in chorus depends if you're using the bass notes to start playing chords.
The current placement assumes this case. If you're mostly strumming you will have to adjust.
* The chords in the last instrumental and chorus part were made for strumming.
[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Amaj7 Dm/A Cm/A Bm/A Amaj7
Dreamed the cars outside my window were actu-ally waves
Dm/A Cm/A Bm/A Amaj7
Slipped in over the sill and carried me away
Dm/A Cm/A Bm/A
Swept me out to sea and that's where I stayed
Amaj7 Dm/A
Learn to live among the fish and seaweed maids
[Pre-Chorus]
Amaj7 Dm/A Cm/A Bm/A
Friends with every creature as I crossed the ocean floor
Amaj7 Dm/A Cm/A
Sippin' tea with tuna fish and whales just off the shore
Bm/A Amaj7 Dm/A Cm/A Bm/A Amaj7
Oh, I felt so at ease slippin' in and out of those ocean waves
[Chorus]

Climbin' through the mountains up so high above the sea

The air is so much clearer but I find it hard to breathe
Bm/A Amaj7
So I'll follow the streams
Dm/A Cm/A Bm/A Amaj7 Dm/A Cm/A Bm/A
Float back down to the sounds that lead out to the deep

This immediate relief, this sweet relief, I am relieved

Driving through the flood plains feeling dizzy

People with me wondering why all I could do was reply:
