[Verse]
A Bm
When you grab a hold of me
G A5
Tell me I will never be set free
Bm
But I'm a parasite,
G A
Creep and crawl I step into the night
D
Two pints of booze,
G A (fill 1)
Tell me are you a bad fish too? (are you a...)
D A
Ain't got no money to spend
D A
I know the night will never end
D A
Lord knows I'm weak
D E
Won't somebody get me off of this reef?
[Verse 2]
(same chords, same rhythm)
Baby you're a big blue whale
Grab the reef when all duck diving fails
I swim, but I wish I never learned
The water's too polluted with germs (fill 2)
I dive deep when it's ten feet over head
Grab the reef from underneath my bed. (underneath my bed but)- fill 3
Ain't got not quarrels with God.
Ain't got no time to grow old.
Lord knows I'm weak.
Won't some body get me off of this reef?

time as the last note of the solo.)
