Intro: Em    D  


Verse 1: 

Em                                                     
This rock of ours is just some big mistake 
            D
And we will never know just where we go or where we have came, from
Em                                                     
These veins of mine are now some sort of fuse 
         D
And when they light up and my mind blows up, my heart is amused so
Em                                                     
This heart of mine is just some sort of map 
             D
That doesn't care at all or worry about, where the hell you're at but you're right there!


[riff]


Verse 2: 

Em
Well I've been meaning to dismiss you, yeah I have some plans to dismiss you 
         D
So stand by, by, by, by, bye-bye, wave bye sugar boats!
Em
As soon as you paint every last grain of sand, as you soon as you paint every star,
                                           D
In the sky, sky, sky, sky, sky, sky, wave bye sugar boats!
Em
Well, I'm swatting at mosquitoes as they're orbiting me
         D
I'm orbiting the sun and this goes on and on and on, you see
Em
This heart of mine is just some, some broke machine
         D
And when it gets a-goin' and it often gets goin', it starts blowin' steam, here we go again!


[riff] 


Verse 3: 

Em
This rock of ours is just some big mistake
            D
And we will never know just where we go, or where we have came, from
Em
This watch of mine is like some sort of void
           D
Cause when I look in and I shouldn't look in I, I see it swallow my time, oh no there it goes!


[riff]


Verse 4: 

Em
I ain't getting on no fast plane, hell, I ain't getting on no stuffy train
      D
Sugar boats on the Atlantic are fine, the sugar boats, they're just fine
Em
I'll stand on the deck so you could see 
                                      D
I'll stand on the deck you could wave bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye

Em
bye, bye, bye, bye bye, bye, bye, 
D
bye, bye, bye, bye bye, bye, bye, 
Em
bye, bye, bye, bye bye, bye, bye, 
D
bye, bye, bye, bye bye, bye, bye......
