verse 1


Watermarks on the ceiling 
                                            Em 
I can see Jesus and he's frowning at me 

I see a dead seal on the beach 

The old man says he's already saved it three times this week 

Guess it just wants to die 

I would wanna die too 

With people putting oil into my air 

But to be fair, I've done my share 

Guess everybody's got their different point of view 


verse 2

      Em                                                 Em      A 
I was walking down Sunset Strip, Phillip Island, not Los Angeles 

Got me some hot chips and a cold drink 
       Em                 A 
Took a sandy seat on the shore 
                                            A 
There's a paper on the ground, it makes my headache quite profound 
                      A5 
As I read it out loud 
             Em                              A 
It said "The Great Barrier Reef it ain't so great anymore 

It's been raped beyond belief, the dredgers treat it like a whore" 
  Em                         A 
I drank 'til I was sinking, sank 'til I was thinking 
         Em                     A 
That I'm thankful for this view 
  Em                         A 
I drank 'til I was sinking, sank 'til I was thinking 
         Em                     A 
That I'm thankful for this view 
           Em 
We either think that we're invincible or that we are invisible 
   A 
Realistically we're somewhere in between 
        Em                          A                    Em              A 
We all think that we're nobody but everybody is somebody else's somebody  


      Em                      A 
Don't ask me what I really mean 
Em                   A 
I am just a reflection 
   Em                       A 
Of what you really wanna see 
    Em                     A 
So take what you want from me 
      Em                      A 
Don't ask me what I really mean 
Em                   A 
I am just a reflection 
   Em                       A 
Of what you really wanna see 
    Em                     A 
So take what you want from me 
      Em                      A 
Don't ask me what I really mean 
Em                   A 
I am just a reflection 
   Em                       A 
Of what you really wanna see 
    Em                     A 
So take what you want from me 
    Em                     A 
So take what you want from me

Satellites on the ceiling
