[Intro]
Bm A C#m Bm
Bm C#m Bm F#m
[Verse 1]
F#m
The mornin' wind and the smell of ancient springtimes
F#m
Smoke stacks build the skyline of this town
H D
This could have been a jungle out of a children's book
F#m
If those power palls wouldn't remind us of our time
[Verse 2]
F#m
Today I am a bulgy submarine
F#m
Floating patiently below the surface
B D
Below the oil slick, and below the sunlight
F#m
And this is exactly where I was meant to be
[Chorus 1]
B
Leave me alone with all my cheap dreams
D A
And please don't say you know me
E B
'Cause you don't know me
B
You got it all wrong
Not above the water
D A E F#m
But below there is my home, home
[Verse 3]
F#m
Deep down in the blue we blossom fairly
F#m
Submarine bodies and creatures of the night
B
The deeper you come visitin' us,
D
the more the pressure will condense you
F#m
It's the cruel beings for whom the eclipse was made
[Verse 4]
F#m
I coil up down there and dream of your chunky strong hands
F#m
With which you used to carve me wooden swords
B D
The memories, they vanish as we dive
F#m
And if you go for this feel free to come on board
[Chorus 2]
B
Leave me alone with all my cheap dreams
D A
And please don't say you know me
E B
'Cause you don't know me at all
B
You got it all wrong
Not above the water
D A E F#m
But below there is my home, home
[Outro]
Bm A
The child and the savior
C#m Bm
Don't you dare misbehave
Bm A
I am your savior,
C#m F#m
'cause I got the grown up shape
Bm A
Daddy and his waver
C#m Bm
I am the boat, you are the wave
Bm A
There is no misbehavior
C#m F#m
I got the grown up shape
Bm A
The child becomes a sailor,
C#m Bm
nature's forces will obey
Bm A
Daddy is his savior,
C#m F#m
'cause he's got the grown up shape
Bm A Bm C#m F#m
He's got the grown up shape, he's got the grown up shape
