Dolphins Were Monkeys
D5/  B, A  
I could be the next to see
That they'll be nobody there
If you feel excited throw your hands into the air
No one can judge you baby
That don't live your life
I need the resistance
Held by your astrological sign
 B5,  B, E7/ G#,  A  
Now I'm caught in the middle
You're next to me
I swim with the fishes
You come from the sea
B5, B, A  
The dolphins were monkeys that didn't like the land
Walked back to the water walked back from the sand
The dolphins were monkeys that didn't like the land
E7/ G#, 
Should I be walking the beach
AThen I'd be holding your hand
I could be the next to see
That there'll be nobody there
If you feel excited throw your hands into the air
No one can judge you baby
That don't live your life
I need the resistance
Held by your astrological sign
So now I'm caught in the middle
You're next to me
No one alive can lock the door to your dreams
Caught in the middle 
Next to me
I swim with the fishes
You come from the sea
The dolphins were monkeys
That didn't like the sand
Should I be walking the beach
I'll be holding your hand
If you feel excited throw your hands into the air
If you feel excited
Throw your hands into the air
No one can judge you baby
That don't live your life
I need the resistance
Held by your astrological sign
