[F] The sun reflected in [G] the back of my eye
[F] I knocked my head against [G] the sky
[Bb] The dragonflies are busy buzzing [C] me
The
[Bb] sea horse says if we were in [C] the sea
[F] Halfway from coal, halfway [G] to diamond
My
[F] flaw locked a mean chip out [G] of me
[Bb] Gathering as far [Gm] as I [C] can reach
Crouched
[Bb] upon the vast [Dm] surface [C] and
This is what I see
[Gm] This is all I want, this is all I [F] need
[C]
[Gm] This is all I used to [F] be
[C] This
[Gm] is all I want, this is all I [F] need
[C] A
[F] blue jay hectares from [G] the top of a tree
[F] Doctorate in science and [G] a yellow chin stream
[Bb] Dragonflies are trying to lecture [C] me
[Bb] Sea horse says if we [Gm] were in [C] the sea
[Gm] This is all I want, this is all I [F] need
[C] This
[Gm] is all I used to [F] be

[F] [Eb]
[Dm] [C] [G]
[D] [Bb] [F]
Need a job for me
[G] Like a butterfly wing
[F] Dropping pickled stone across [G] the ocean
Don't
[Bb] explain, I'm sure I want to [C] know
Don't
[Bb] forget we're just halfway [Dm] from [C] coal
[Gm] This is all I want, this is all I [F] need
[C] This
[Gm] is all I want, that's [F] everything
[C] This
[Gm] is all I want, this is all I [F] need
