In the overgrowth of the underbrush 
                Am/C 
Shown a fossil tooth which I must have dropped

very long ago which reminded me how we wound up where we are now 

E                    B                A 
Right through those trees, I'm not insane 
                 Am/C 
That's where we came into this place 
E/B           B 
and if you squint, if you squint your brain  
A                        F       B 
I'll take my paints and try to paint

When a daring mudskipper dragged itself away

It's as if a fin, reaching from the swamp  
                  Am/C                  
Grabbed me by my arm, tried to pull me in  
E/B                B    
But my arm was strong  
                     A                         F      B 
And the fin was an inaccurately reconstructed fake   

E                             B              A 
It was right through those trees, I'm not insane

That's where the fin tried to drag me in  
E/B                 B 
Don't look at me, look at where I'm pointing  
A                         F         B 
Close your eyes, see what I see

I get the creeping feeling all my old friends are gone  
                    F#m                         B 
And that this baby tooth no longer fits in my skull

If you can draw it in the air
