Ab   G   F   G   (x2) 

Ab                             G 
    If I were you and you were me, shalalala 
F                                       G 
    You could see it's more than just a whale song 
Ab                                     G 
More than random flowers bursting from my mouth 
F                                         G 
More than shit whispered into the crook of my arm 

Ab   G   F   G 

    Ab                                                     G 
And not unlike the murmurings, the murmurings coming from caves 
F                                               G 
    With their mouths, their mouths against the sea 
Ab                                                      G 
I, I, I, I am the singer at the bottom, bottom, of the well 
   F                                     G 
Or I am just one, one of many, bathing beauties 
     Ab             G 
And all along the beach 
F                                                        G 
You can hear, you can hear it getting whispered down the line 
         Ab                G                    F             G 
Going, "Song instead of a kiss, baby, this is a song instead of a kiss." 

Ab   G   F   G 

        Ab                              G 
And is that, that the saddest thing to know? 
        F                              G 
Oh, is that, that the saddest thing to know? 
               Ab                                 G 
You're saying, no, it's not the saddest thing to know 
             F                                 G 
Oh, you say, no, it's not the saddest thing to know  

Ab                                  G 
    And I could see you've made a garden 
            F                        G 
From the flowers growing out of my remains, remains, remains 
             Ab                                G 
And I would say it's not the way I would have had them 
             F                                  G 
But I would also say that it will work just the same 

      Ab  
"And here we see the shovel, and here the hanging vine 
G 
Here is where the heart was, and here we see the spine 
     F 
And here is where he'll sing, and here is where you'll stand 
     G 
And here we see the path from where your other lovers ran 
Ab 
Here we see the pond - It's where the whale will stay 
G 
Wondering what happened to freedom, and grace 
F 
There will be a whole entire garden at the end of this 
G                                  Ab   G    
There will be a song, instead of a kiss" 
               F   G 
Instead of a kiss 
Ab           G 
    Ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh 
F                      G 
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-oohooh-ooh-ooh
