Fish Chords

(ver. 1)
Daniel Johnston
[Verse 1]
 
G      C           D          C
Try aching every care in the world
G      C             D         C
She's only the most beautiful girl
 G          C             D         C
The more I think it, the badder it gets
 G      C                        D             C
I was swimming along when I was caught in her net
 
[Chorus]
 
 G            Em             Am      D
She's got me singing with a broken heart
 G           Em              Am        D
I keep on messing with my mind torn apart
 G           Em               Am             D
She's only forgotten we've been left in the dust
 G           Em        Am         D
I guess my art didn't help very much
 
[Verse 2]
 
G      C           D          C
Then the superlove got me again
G      C           D          C
Got me dreaming I could almost win
G            C           D          C
I stopped to take a look around with a grin
G      C           D          C
So much turmoil in this crazy town
 
[Chorus]
 
  G            Em             Am      D
She's got me bloodied from hitting the bricks
  G            Em             Am      D
Is this the way the girlies get their kicks?
  G            Em             Am      D
And now I see as if it makes a difference
 G            Em             Am      D
Everyone in love, hating and hurting each other
 
[Verse 3]
 
G      C           D          C
Always thinking it's near the end
G      C           D          C
And I was hoping she'd be my friend
G      C           D          C
Lost forever, only wishing again
G      C           D          C
Oh, to be alive and free from sin
 
[Chorus]
 
 G            Em             Am      D
Psycho love in The Twilight Zone
 G            Em             Am      D
Drippy soap opera on the telephone
 G            Em             Am      D
I get so close, but I don't belong
 G            Em             Am      D
Straining to identify with the radio song
 
[Verse 4]
 
G      C           D          C
Then I see her as if in a dream
G      C           D          C
It's so real, I could almost scream
 G               C           D          C
She's doing her ritual, the same for any man
 G          C           D          C
Just like a movie, it's so deadpan
 
[Chorus]
 
 G            Em             Am      D
I'm looking for love in the darkness
 G            Em             Am      D
I haven't a chance at false romance
 G            Em             Am      D
Maybe next time I'll whisper something new
 G       Em      Am      D
I'm so ashamed, so unglued
 
[Verse 5]
 
G        C           D          C
I've had enough and she'll never know
G            C               D                  C
I feel like staying, but my subconscious says, "Go"
G      C           D          C
Shed a tear like blood on the porch
G      C           D          C
It's only love and nothing more
 
[Chorus]
 
 G            Em             Am      D
She's got me singing with a broken heart
 G            Em             Am      D
I keep on messing with my mind torn apart
 G            Em             Am      D
She's only forgotten we've been left in the dust
 G            Em             Am      D
I guess my art didn't help very much
