Whales

©2001 Garrett Clevenger

D G D Peep show, there's a hole in the wall

D G D but it doesn't make a difference anyway.

D G D Sparks out and the smokes in the air

D G D and dragonflies are soaking up the day.

Am G D A million people turn and they yearn to find another way.

Am G D Dry skin flies in the gust that blows our way.

D G D Still they'll burn holes in their socks and

D G D dust mites will have a field day.

D G D Weeds will continue to grow as

D G D long as they can still have a say.

G A D If they weren't wearing shoes than the Grass would still feel real.

G A D And we would walk a mile just to try to find a better...

D G D Deal me another hand and I'll

G C G try not to chew my nails.

D G D Build me a bottomless boat and

G C G be sure to bring the whales.

Am G D 7 orcas circle then they float in their whirlpool.

Am G D Driftwood copies 'cause they want to be cool.

D G D The King's in my Royal flush,

D G D pressed up against the queen.

D G D Jack's in bed with ten and the

D G D Joker tries to steal the scene.

G A D No one ever noticed on the back they're all the same.

G A D But everyone wants to play another game.

Em When the Rain falls down and the River overflows

Am and the bull frog croaks when the east Wind blows

F and the stench from your socks is the way you start your day

G and you know nothing ever really mattered anyway.

Am Go down to the Shoreline, at the end of the dock

F rippling Water waves, so take off your socks.

G Jump in the bow of the bottomless Boat

Am Whistle with the Whales, that's all we wrote.

G F Em A

Whistle through verse
