(C's and D's arpeggio'd)

River splashes against the rocks

C D C D

And I scale the slope I hope the tracks won't

Lead me down to dark black pits or

Places where we fall to bits

If she were there I'd hold her down

C D C D

I'll push her under while she drowns and

Couldn't breathe and call for air

C D C D

She doesn't care for my despair

G C

Or is it me? Am I the one that's wrong?

(one that's wrong) You see it in the sea

In my Mersey paradise

As I stare an oil wheel comes

C D C D

Sailing by and I feel like

Growing fins and falling in

C D C D

With the bricks, the bikes, the rusty tin I

Swim along without a care

C D C D

I'll eating sand when I need air you can

Bet your life I'll meet a Pike who'll

Wolf me down for tea tonight

I want to be (I want to be)
