Sea Anemone

	  		

Intro: A D (2x) 


verse 1: 
A 
  The curtain's 
a sea anemone 
              D 
in the way it sways 
to the slow breeze 
A 
  I lie spread 
out on the 
floor looking 
   D 
at these things 
and most of 
them are yours 


Chorus 1: 
         Bm 
and it's so nice 
          D 
sitting very still 
without those 
F#m 
old shoes I 
            D 
could never fill 


Post Chorus: A--D-- x2 


verse 2: 
A 
  starfish with 
its arms out 
in a daze 
staring at 
     D 
the stars 
through an 
ocean haze 
A 
  was I one you 
wished upon? 
burned out 
       D 
like a lightbulb 
when you 
turned me on 


Chorus 2: 
and it's 
Bm 
so nice 
sleeping 
     D 
here all alone 
        F#m 
with my ashtray 
and white 
         D 
courtesy telephone 
E 
  now I'm making 
        D 
out the shapes 
         F#m 
like the shower 
rod can it take my 
D      E 
weight? I will tell 
         D 
you I am fine 
           F#m 
I got some news 
friend feels 
         D 
like I'm dying 


Interlude: A--D-- x4 


verse 3: 
A 
  turtle on its back 
in the desert sea 
and you look like 
  D 
a cool drink just 
slightly out of 
     A 
reach draw myself 
into the shell 
waiting on a 
D 
sign from god 
or a nod from hell 


Chorus 3: 
         Bm 
and it's so nice 
          D 
sitting very still 
              F#m 
without those old 
shoes I could never 
D      E 
fill no we're turning 
       D 
on the lights it's the 
F#m 
first day of my second 
D   E 
life take my name 
           D 
off of the lease 
you can even 
F#m 
keep the name it 
      D 
never suited me 


Outro: A D (4x), Bm
