Intro:  F 
 
Verse I: 
F7M                                                C 
Decided I'm gonna make myself a little something to eat 
Dm                                                       G 
Get a can down off the shelf, maybe a little something sweet 
F7M                                 C 
Haven't spoken to no one, haven't been in the mood 
Dm                                                           G 
Pour some soup, get a spoon and, stir it up real good. 
F7M                                                C 
Go out with a friend, maybe a little music might help 
Dm                                             G 
But I can't pretend,  I wish I was somewhere else. 
 
Chorus: 
                               F                                            C 
I wanna watch the ocean bend the edges of the sun, then 
                   Dm                                        G        
I wanna get swallowed up in an ocean of love. 
 
Verse II: 
F7M                         C 
Put on my coat, go out into the street 
Dm                                                 G 
Get a lump in my throat, and look down at my feet 
F7M                                                C 
Take the long way home, so I can ride around 
Dm                                      G 
Put Neil Young on and turn up the sound. 
F7M                            C 
Drive up the coastline, maybe to Ventura 
Dm                                           G 
Watch the waves make signs out on the water. 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Break:  F7M  C  Dm  G 
 
Verse III: 
F7M                          C 
Stand in the shower, clean this dirty mess 
Dm                                          G 
Give me back my power, and drown this unholyness 
F7M                                       C 
Lean over the toilet bowl, and throw up my confession 
Dm                                 G 
Cleanse my soul of this hidden obsession. 
 
(Chorus) 2X 
 
End with F7M C Dm G G F7M
