[Intro]
Bm C Em G D   Bm Em x4
 
[Verse]
Bm            C
Why, Poseidon
     Em                 G               D
I suppose you are the closest thing I happen to have
Bm        Em
  To a beginning
 
Bm            C
Why, Poseidon
     Em                 G                D
I suppose there was no way to know what had to happen
Bm           Em
 When you released my father
 
[Chorus]
        Bm
In the form of a bull
          C
From the foam of the sea
        Em
In the form of a bull
          G
From the foam of the sea
        D
In the form of a slick white bull
           Bm         Em
From the slick white foam of the sea
 
[Verse]
Bm            C
Why, Poseidon
     Em               G               D
I suppose you never chose for me to live this way
Bm        Em
  So I forgive you as I would have forgiven you anyway
 
[Instrumental]
Bm C Em G D   Bm Em
 
[Chorus]
                       Bm      C
But I have so many questions!
          Em                 G
Was his colour inspired by mother of pearl?
           D
Did you fashion his hide from pieces of coral?
Bm         Em                                                      Bm
  Did the horns come from skeletons of men that you swallowed in storms?
 
[Post Chorus]
Bm C Em
 
    G                          D                                      Bm
Or did you just summon up the very first animal that swam into your skull?
    Em                                  Bm
Oh, why, Poseidon? Why a white bull? Oh why???
 
Bm C Em G D   Bm Em
 
[Pre-Bridge Verse]
    Bm                          C
And why would you make him so lovely
            Em                           G
Then wonder why the sacrificer couldn't draw back the blade
         D                                 Bm
Did you want him to break that promise he made
           Em
So he would burn, burn in his bathhouse grave
 
[Instrumental]
Bm C Em G D   Bm Em
 
[Bridge]
Bm                C
  This is what I have:
            Em              G                D
Black mud. Grey stone. Walls. Halls. Corners. Bones
 
                  Bm
This is what you have:
      Em
The entire colourful open sea
Bm
This is what I do:
      C
Sit. Wait. Murder. Eat.
Em
This is what you do:
     G
You don't let things be
                  D
You don't let questions just hang in the spray
           Bm    Em
You make angels
 
And they make monsters
 
[Instrumental]
Bm C Em G D   Bm Em
 
[Chorus]
          Bm                 C

[Verse]
Bm             C
Why, Poseidon?
Em             G
Why, Poseidon?
     D                         Bm       Em
I suppose there was no way to know what had to happen
