Intro: F5 (2)   Bb5 (2)     x2

[Verse 1]

F5                       Bb5
Some things have their skeletons on
     F5     Bb5
The outside
F5                Bb5       F5     Bb5
I’m built up from sodium hydroxide
 G#5       G5             F5    Bb5
Deep in a dream I pressed erase
F5                Bb5          F5   F(1)
I don’t feel like anything today

[Verse 2]
       F5                             Bb5
If you saw what I was feeling on the inside 
                      F5   Bb5
On the outside I’d be ugly
     F5                   Bb5                  F5       Bb5
Out hunting empty gastropod shells, Protect my feelings
G#5        G5             F5     Bb5
Deep in a dream I pressed erase
F5                Bb5         F5   F(1)
I don’t feel like anything today

[Chorus *]

C         Bb            F
I met a girl deep in space
                        F
The universe was flipping aces
C            Bb                  F
On the table like a cocaine lion, 
F
like a cocaine lion, like a cocaine lion,

[Interlude **]

[Verse 3]
F                      Bb5              F       Bb5
Some things feel their way around with antennas
    F             Bb5                 F   Bb5
But I just push on in I have no manners 
G#5       G5               F      Bb5
deep in a dream I made a refund 
     F                   Bb5              F     F(1)
It’s nice to meet you, I already miss you.

The universe was flipping aces
D            C                  G
On the table like a cocaine lion, 
G
like a cocaine lion, like a cocaine lion,
