E      G#m       A        B 


Verse 1:
 
 E                 G#m 
Hermit crabs and cowry shells 
   A                        B 
Crush beneath his feet as he comes towards you 
E    G#m       A 
He's waving at you 

        E         G#m 
Lift him up to see what you can see 
 A             B 
He begins his focusing 
 E      G#m       A 
He's aiming at you 

           E                 G#m 
And now he has cutaways from memories 
   A                   B 
And close-ups of anything that 
 E                  G#m 
He has seen or even dreamed 
       A               B 
And now he's finished focusing 

  E               G#m 
He's imagining lightning 
  A           B 
Striking sea sickness 
 E    G#m     A 
Away from here 

 
 E                 G#m         A        B 
Look who's laughing now that you've wasted 
E           G#m             A           B 
How many years and you've barely even tasted 
E                G#m 
Anything remotely close to 
  A              B 
Everything you've boasted about 
 E        G#m        A 
Look who's crying now

Verse 2:
 
 E                      G#m 
Driftwood floats, after years of erosion 
 A                   A 
Incoming tide touches roots to expose them 
 E                G#m 
Quicksand steals my shoe 
   A                  B 
Clouds bring the f-stop blues

Look who's laughing now that you've wasted 
E           G#m             A           B 
How many years and you've barely even tasted 
E                G#m 
Anything remotely close to 
  A              B 
Everything you've boasted about 
 E        G#m        A 
Look who's crying now
