No Mermaid

	  		
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
