In the deepest ocean

C#m

The bottom of the sea

G#m

Your eyes

They turn me

E

Why should I stay here?

C#m

Why should I stay?

G#m A

I’d be crazy not to follow

E

Follow where you lead

A

Your eyes

E

They turn me

Verse 2

E

Turn me on to phantoms

C#m

I follow to the edge of the earth

G#m

And fall off

A

Everybody leaves

E

If they get the chance

C#m

And this is my chance

G#m

I get eaten by the worms

A

And weird fishes

E

Get picked over by the worms

A

And weird fishes
