[Verse]
E C#m C#m7
You're the only fish in the sea,
Amaj7 B11
For me, for me
E C#m C#m7
I thought that you were fishing for me,
Amaj7 B11
Maybe, maybe
[Chorus]
Amaj7 E
You're the one that got away,
B11
And you got bigger everyday
Bm
I kept stretching out my arms,
Amaj7
But you were always way beyond
B11
My reach
[Verse]
E C#m C#m7
There's no more where you came from,
Amaj7 B11
No one, no one
E C#m C#m7
I guess I flew too close to the sun,
Amaj7 B11
Head long, head long
[Chorus]
Amaj7
E
I've been a fish out of the water,
B11
Ever since the night I saw ya
Bm
I've been swimming on dry land
Amaj7
Feeling like a drowning man
B11
In the sand
[Verse]
E C#m C#m7
You're the only pebble on the beach,
Amaj7 B11
Out of reach, out of reach
E C#m C#m7
I knew that you'd have something to teach,
Amaj7 B11
With no speech, with no speech
[Chorus]
Amaj7
E
You caught me hook, line, and sinker,
B11
When you weren't even thinking
Bm
You just didn't wanna know,
Amaj7
But I made you tell me so,
B11
You had to tell me no,
'Cos I had to know
[Verse]
E C#m C#m7
How I wish I'd caught you too,
Amaj7 B11
Just you, just you
E C#m C#m7
Now we might be out in the blue,
Amaj7 B11
Us two, just two
Amaj7 E
The only fish in the sea
Amaj7 E
The only fish in the sea
