You can't blGame a billion boats
without a saCil, without a sailorG.C  F  C  
And that's hGow we look 
in photographs, and diaCries, and mirrorsG.C  F  C  
And the plGants turn into ants, 
and the anCts turn into plants,
And childrFen are clumsy people, 
and old peCople are rotting Children.
And I stiGll don't have a cell phone,
but this Csea shell gets Reception,
And the ocFean won't stop calling,
and I waCnt a restraining order.
Just tGell me that you like me
in the same seCntence as a building.
FIt would be such a relCief to see
I'm just a natural thingG.C  F  C  
We're just a natural thingG.C  F  C

From the album 'Ere Am I

Chords Used:

G = 3 2 0 0 0 3

C = x 3 2 0 1 0

F = x x 3 2 1 X

I left a trail of myself

C G C F C

every place that I have been through,

And going bald is the most manly thing

C G C F C

that I'm ever gonna do.

I tell the earth, "thanks for the hair,

C G C F C

thanks for the skin, thanks for the bone",

Though I now slowly give it back

C G C F C

I still appreciate the loan.

Just tell me that you like me

C G C F C

in the same sentence as a mountain side.

'Cause it would be

C G C F C

such a relief to be objectified.

'Cause who says it's so important

C G C F C

to sort through these thoughts of ours.

Maybe be that's why we love to try

C G C F C

to see ourselves from the outside

G C G C F C

In photographs and videos and diaries and mirrors.

'Cause it would be

C G C F C

such a relief to be objectified.

And the closest that I ever got

still seems to leave a lot to go,

but the horizon seems to be a place

that nobody can know.

Looking forth and looking back,

our vision can't extend

beyond the quaint vanishing points

our bodies' recommend,

and I'll help you move some furniture

somewhere it's never been before,

but the room's so small the dresser drawer

won't let us get back out the door.

Just tell me that you like me

in the same sentence as the building.

F C

It would be such a relief to see

G C F C G C F C

I'm just a natural thing.

We're only boats,

C G C F C

And the boats are only empty

And you can't blame an empty boat

C G C F C

that's on a river to the sea.

You can't blame a billion boats

C G C F C

without a sail, without a sailor.

And that's how we look

C G C F C

in photographs, and diaries, and mirrors.

And the plants turn into ants,

and the ants turn into plants,

And children are clumsy people,

and old people are rotting Children.

And I still don't have a cell phone,

but this sea shell gets Reception,

And the ocean won't stop calling,

and I want a restraining order.

Just tell me that you like me

in the same sentence as a building.

F C

It would be such a relief to see

G C F C

I'm just a natural thing.

G C F C

We're just a natural thing.

G C F C G

Just like anything.
