E G#m A B
Verso 1:
E G#m
Hermit crabs and cowry shells
A B
Crush beneath his feet as he comes towards you
E G#m A
He's waving at you
E G#m
Lift him up to see what you can see
A B
He begins his focusing
E G#m A
He's aiming at you
E G#m
And now he has cutaways from memories
A B
And close-ups of anything that
E G#m
He has seen or even dreamed
A B
And now he's finished focusing
E G#m
He's imagining lightning
A B
Striking sea sickness
E G#m A
Away from here
E G#m A B
Look who's laughing now that you've wasted
E G#m A B
How many years and you've barely even tasted

Anything remotely close to
A B
Everything you've boasted about
E G#m A
Look who's crying now
E B A

Incoming tide touches roots to expose them

Quicksand steals my shoe

Clouds bring the f-stop blues

E G#m A B
Look who's laughing now that you've wasted
E G#m A B
How many years and you've barely even tasted

Anything remotely close to

Everything you've boasted about
E G#m A
Look who's crying now
