Intro: A (A) (A) E
Verse 1:
C#m A
I still remember the words you said
F#m B G#
They were hard enough to leave a mark
C#m A
And now they echo inside my head
F#m B G#
As I spiral down into the dark
A E
I windmill upside down
F#m C#m B
Knowing you'll come at me again
A F#m
And I feel your shadow pass above me
Chorus:
Esus E Esus E
Octopus
Esus E Esus E
Some kind of octopus
Bm F#m
Tearing my shell apart
C#m
Letting the sea get in
A E
You make my insides outside
Verse 2:
C#m A
I don't think I ever saw you blink
F#m B G#
You were so controlled that no one knew
C#m A
And by the time we all stopped to think
F#m B G#
We were already too close to you
A E
Now you keep coming by
F#m C#m B
Telling me it's not what I think
A F#m
But I know a murder when I see one
Chorus:
Esus E Esus E
Octopus
Esus E Esus E
Some kind of octopus
Bm F#m
Tearing my shell apart
C#m
Letting the sea get in
A
You make my insides outside
Bridge:
A B A B
And far above me I can see the world
A B A B
Receding slowly out of view
A B A B
The sinking feeling that my worst mistake
A B A
Was all the time I spent with you
Verse 3:
N.C.
You said you're sorry, you said you'd try
But you never did, I guess we're done
Now bits of pieces of me float by
And I die in front of everyone
And you're already gone
Halfway to wherever you sleep
And you make me wish I never met you
Chorus:
Esus E Esus E
Octopus
Esus E Esus E
Some kind of octopus
Bm F#m
Tearing my shell apart
C#m
Letting the sea get in
A
You make my insides outside
