      It is very important that you mute/don't play the g string on the F# chord. However, if you
      can't avoid this, you can put a capo on the 3rd fret, and hitting the open string will make 
      the same sound as the d string.


(Light Strumming) B, F#
Is there a sign on the back of my head that says desensitized? 

(Fast Strumming) B, F#

Then I landed on a crab you slept with seahorses. 
I started having seizures, you started having kids. 
You found your inner self, I found my inner fish. 

F# (Strumming this chord for a few measures)

B, F#
And my other car is a boat, it has a boat name. I thought we both came, 
but no. No such conch, no pontoon, no one is listening to you. 
The sun does wonders to your brain the way it burns right through. 
I am swimming in a trough, I?m sure you?ve written me off by now but 
just when I think that all is lost, I see you stepping in the water. 

D#, A#, B, F#
