This song is played using just power chords. The only chord that is not in
standard power chord finger form is what i think is called the Bmaj7 so here it is:
Bmaj7:
e--2----
B--4----
G--2----
D--4----
A--2----
E--2----
F# B
I'll be your wave carrying you to shore.
F#
And if your ribs are peeking through your fur,
B
I'll feed you some more.
F#
I rode out of the city,
B
without you in my arms.
F#
Under the moonglow,
i was a windblown, cast-down,
B
carved out watermelon.
C#
Without you in my arms
B F#
Without you in my arms.
F# Bbm
And i've seen some great things,
Bmaj7
But i dont want to see anything
F#
If i cant see you.
F# Bbm
Kicked open a coconut,
Bmaj7
Couldve shared it with anyone
F#
But i wanted to share it with you.
C# B F#
oooooh, oooooh.
F# B
I'll be your strings;
F#
If you pluck them,
B
I'll sing for you.
F#
And if your hands are feeling tender,
B
I'll take them in my own and make them better.
F#
I rose out of the water,
B
I can hold my breath for only so long.
F#
I push past the breeze from the palm trees,
B
I'm coming towards you.
C#
I've got to have you in my arms,
B F#
I'm gonna have you in my arms.
Bbm
And i've seen some great things,
Bmaj7
But i dont want to see anything
F#
If i cant see you.

Kicked open a coconut,
Bmaj7
Could've shared it with anyone,
F#
But i wanted to share it with you.
C# B F#
ooooooh,, oooohhhhh
C# B F#
You send me over in tender torture.
C# B F#
And when it's over, it's tender torture.
