F#m
You look different every time
F Am Em
You come from the foam-crested brine
F#m F Am Em
It\’s your skin shining softly in the moonlight
F#m F Am Em
Partly fish, partly porpoise, partly baby sperm whale
F#m F Am Em
Am I yours? Are you mine to play with?
F#m F
Joking apart
Am Em
When you\’re drunk you\’re terrific
F#m F
When you\’re drunk I like you mostly
Am Em
Late at night, you\’re quite alright
Ebmaj7 Cm7 Bbmaj7
But I can\’t understand the different you
Ebmaj7 Cm Cm7 Cm6
In the morning when it\’s time to play

At being human for a while
E7
Please smile
[Verse]
F#m F
You\’ll be different in the spring, I know
Am Em
You\’re a seasonal beast
F#m F Am Em
Like the starfish that drift in with the tide, with the tide
F#m F Am Em
So until your blood runs to meet the next full moon
F#m F Am Em
Your madness fits in nicely with my own, with my own
F#m F Am
Your lunacy fits neatly with my own
F Am
My very own
F Am (x5)
F D
We\’re not alone
