[Intro]

Dm Bb

[Verse 1]

I planned a dream inside a dream

With your uncle

A fisherman who died

The oracle of the maritimes

Too cloudy to see fireworks

We would ride

A chest of drawers into the waves

Bb Dm

His granite hand held mi-i-i-ine

[Transition 1]

I asked him how to tell you

How much I could love you

'Cause I've never been so sure of anything

Dm Bb

[Verse 2]

Sometimes I feel so beautiful

Bb Dm

It's strange for a tomboy

Bruises up her legs

Dm Bb

Your big hand holds my fa-ay-ay-ayce

Sometimes I feel so ugly

Bb Dm

I'm afraid, worry nesting in my hair

Shedding like a Christmas tree

Gm Bb Dm

Surely there's a real woman coming to erase me

[Transition 2]

There's no way I could tell you

How much I could love you

'Cause I've never been so scared of anything

[Transition 3]

Gm Dm

And I'm not even wearing underwear

Bb Gm

In no way exotic, I just forgot to

Bb Dm

And I'm too much for people, so I gauge

Bb Gm

And shout my thoughts at you from a distance

[Transition 4]

That's no way to tell you

How much I could love you

Bb Dm

Though I've never been so sure of anything

[Break]

Dm Dm Dm

Gm Bb Dm Dm

[Outro]

He let go of my hand

Bb Dm

And passed me an oar

The oracle of the maritimes

Gm Bb

He said "Come on, sweet girl, let's find you an ocean

Dm Bb

That goes with your ey-ey-ey-eyes"

Gm Bb

He said "Come on, sweet girl, let's find you an ocean

Dm Bb

That goes with your ey-ey-ey-eyes"

Gm Bb
