Intro: F
verse 1
F
We went down to the edge of the water
G
You were afraid to go in
Bb
You said there might be sharks out there in the ocean
F
And I said I'm only going for a swim
I was swimming around in a circle
G
I wasn't always in view
Bb
You said we might get into red flag danger
F
And I am alone when I'm not with you
Bb
But I am no mermaid I am no mermaid
F
And I am no fisherman's slave
Bb
I am no mermaid I am no mermaid
F
I keep my head above the waves
verse 2
F
We were swinging from the centre of the ceiling
G
You were afraid to give in
Bb
I said i know I'll always live for this feeling
F
And you closed your eyes you said never again
I was dancing in the middle of the desert
G
You said we'll burn under the hot sun
Bb
I said I'd rather be the colour of the pleasure
F
Than watch like you from under the thumb
Bb
But I am no mermaid I am no mermaid
F
And I am no fisherman's slave
Bb
I am no mermaid I am no mermaid
F
I keep my head above the waves
