intro: E E E E

E
the secret ocean and its coast

A
fills out in to the room

F#m * E
and it made me think of how you float away

E A
to another distant room , embracing the unknown

F#m E
and i wonder what you're doing there today

chorus:

D E A
'cause i'm always thinking of you

D E A
your invisible rays slice me in 2

D E A D
you crush me every day, make me change my shape

D E A
i could be anything you want me to

(end chorus)


D
drifting along

A
those golden doorways

Bm ** E
you tried to duck your head

D
but the ceiling sticks along you (?)

A Bm
and lifts you up into a place

E D
where you can be anything you want to

A
an old dead branch

Bm
a big red n

E
a singing clam

(this is how the "bum , bum , bum/oooooing" part goes):


D D A A Bm Bm D D A


then, just repeat the song from the beginning, playing, for the outro lines; 
D E A A three times. enjoy!
