Biography:
Said the Whale is a Canadian band formed in 2007 as a collaboration between songwriters Ben Worcester and Tyler Bancroft. The pair’s debut EP, Taking Abalonia, featured sunny west coast indie pop, with breezy harmonies, shimmering guitars and lyrical tributes to their home city of Vancouver, “nodding at times to the sea shanties of Neutral Milk Hotel and at others to the boat-shoe-gazing of Vampire Weekend” said The National Post. In 2008, the album was re-released as Howe Sounds/Talking Abalonia

C F C Am
Daylight is fading like an awkward smile
E F C
Sun hides behind the west coast
Am E
I thought, I thought I knew
F C
I had everything figured out
Am E F C
'Til night came and I lost my shadow
Am E F C
Blended with moonlight and broken glass
Am E F C
Ten hours of panic will follow
Am E
I watch the trees look black
F C
My red shirt in is turning grey
Am E F C
Strange things just won't stop appearing!
E
Give me day, give me light
These days, those days
Am E F C
I was taught to bottle my emptiness
Am E F C
Deal with my quarter-life angst by painting pictures
Am E F C
Tip of my pencil describes what I might have drawn
Am E F C
Had my left brain and right hand been in contact
E
Broken section is now, read on
Dm G C Am
Then all at once, the sky started raining
Dm G C
Soaked to the bone, stopped!
Dm G C Am
People of nighttime, came out of hiding
Dm G C
One of them turned my way
Dm G
She said: "I'd like to tell you
C Am
Some things I wished I'd known
Dm G C
When I was young like you
Dm G
It won't take a second
C Am
But it could save you years
Dm G C
Years passed like seconds out here"

I was enthralled with the way that
She spoke so softly
For a lady of her finesse and personal hygiene
She had cuts, bruises, scrapes, scratches
Hair tangled everywhere
She spoke in a way that demanded my attention
You're at the top of your game
You're in control of your life
Pearl of the oyster
The cream of the oreo
What I would give for that, I hope you never know
C
So live your life!
Am
Don't sleep through the night!
Fmaj
Life's worth a living!
G
You gotta start living it right!
Am
So live your life!
C
Don't sleep through the day!
Fmaj
Dreams are for living!
G
You gotta stop letting them die
