Tabbed By Geoff Lawson (geofflawson@hotmail.com)

Listen to the song to get a feel for the timing of the chord changes


Intro
D5 A5 G5 G5/F# A5 x2

G	   A		  D
Again, I'm talking to a lake, 	I'm standing on the rocks
Yer not the ocean,		I'm better to watch
Britney invisible 		or the stranger in myself
than a wall of water 		just hitting the shelf


Chorus
D5  A5      G5 G5/F# A5
Yer not the ocean 		You're up to my toes
D5  A5      G5 G5/F# A5
Yer not the ocean 		You're not even close

G      A         D
Though you're so real 		and you've more youth everyday
and you can think and feel 	and get out of your own way
and though I'm nothing 		you are just a lake
made to take it 		and take and take and take

D5  A5      G5 G5/F# A5
Yer not the ocean 		I'm standing on my toes
Yer not the ocean 		You're not even close
Yer not the ocean 		You're up to my chin
Yer not the ocean 		You're not coming in

	A5	B5	C5	You're not coming in
	A5	B5	C5	You're not coming in
	C5	D5	E5	You're not coming in

(No bar chords here)
D   A       G  G/f#  A x2

D   A       G  G/f#  A
Yer not the ocean 		You're up to my chin
Yer not the ocean 		You're not coming in
				You're not coming in
				You're not coming in
				You're not coming in


If you are looking for more Hip song tabs that you cant find, E-mail me at 
and I send you what I can, but I mostly do just chords as I am a rythm guitarist.

World Container is one of the best Hip albums, not that any of them are bad, but I think 
their best since Phantom Power and I will continue to post more tabs from it in the 
weeks.
