[Verse 1]
F                       G                      Am
 There's a tear in the fabric of your favorite dress
                 C
And I'm sneaking glances
F                              G
  Looking for the patterns in static
                     Am
They start to make sense 
                C
The longer I'm at it.
[Chorus]
F     G
Ivory lines lead
       Am7        C
Oh wha-ho, oh wha-ho

[Verse 2]
F                G                         Am
 Your heart is a river that flows from your chest
              C
Through every organ.
F                  G
 Your brain is the dam
               Am
And I am the fish
                      C
Who can't reach the core.
[Chorus]
F     G
Ivory lines lead
       Am7        C
Oh wha-ho, oh wha-ho
[Bridge]
Em        F            C
  Oh, instincts are misleading
Em                F                C
You shouldn't think what you're feeling
     Em             F
They don't tell you what
    G                Am
You know you should want
[Chorus]

You shouldn't think what you're feeling
