Mermaid Song Chords by Emily Kinney

_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [E] I _ _
[B] _ [E] am a mermaid that you _ dreamt [B] _ [E] Swimming away while you slept _ _
[Gb] Fourth [E] of July, kegs of beer, baby [B] We had a [E] nice time, but I don't really fit
in here [B] You [Abm] pulled me out, [E] jammed me
in a room I [Abm] fell in love, I fell in love to [E] you soon
I [Abm] don't know the intention [E] of your heart I [Abm] don't know why it's been scary from [E] the
start And [Abm] I don't know how you don't know how [E] to
apologize So [Abm] I'll be almost to the ocean [E] when you open
your _ [Gb] eyes _ [E] Oh, swimming away _ _
[B] What's the [E] point of California if we don't go to the beach?
[B] What's the [E] point of being friends when we're both so hard to reach?
[B] What's the [Abm] point of all the [E] midnight text messages you send?
I [B] can't help but [E] break in half each time you ask me to bend
[B] I can't help [Abm] but unravel [E] when you pull out a thread
[B] I just lose [Abm] my mind [E] when you mess with my head
And [B] I will always [Abm] throw a tantrum [E] if you throw me just some bone
I'm [B] not your puppy, [Abm] I'm a famous [E] fish I'd rather swim alone _
[B] You [Abm] pulled me out, [E] jammed me in a room I [Abm] fell in love, I fell in love to [E] you soon
I [B] don't know the [Abm] intention [E] of your heart _ [B] I don't [Abm] know why it's been scary from [E] the
start And [B] I don't know how [Abm] you don't know how [B] to
apologize So I'll be [Abm] almost to the ocean [B] when you open
your eyes _ [Abm] Oh, [B] _ _ _ _
