The Sea Is A Good Place To Think Of The Future by Los Campesinos!
The Sea Is A Good Place To Think Of The Future
Intro
Am, C
Am
I grabbed hold of her wrist and my hand closed from tip to tip
C
I said “you’ve taken the diet too far, you have got to let it slip”
Am
But she’s not eating again, she’s not eating again,
C
she’s not eating again, she’s not eating again.
Am
I ask her to speak French and then I need her to translate,
C
I get the feeling she makes the meaning more significant.
Am
She was always far too pretty for me to believe in a single
C
word she said, believe a word she said.
Am, C
Am
At fourteen her mother died in a routine operation,
C
from allergic reaction to a general anesthetic.
Am
She spent the rest of her teens experimenting with prescriptions,
C
in a futile attempt to know more than the doctors.
Am C
She said one day to leave her, sand up to her shoulders waiting for the tide
Am
to drag her to the ocean, to another sea’s shore.
C
This thing hurts like hell,
Am
but what did you expect?
C
Am C
And all you can hear is the sound of your own heart
Am C
And all you can feel is your lungs flood and the blood course
Am C
But oh I can see five hundred years dead set ahead of me
Am
Five hundred behind,
C
A thousand years in perfect symmetry
Am, C
Am
Best known left wrist right finger, through all the Southern States, on
C
every video games machine they call her triple A.
Am
There were racists on the radio trying to give up smoking,
C
the chat show host, he joked “you have to wait for the government program”.
Am
You talk about your politics, and I wonder if you could be one of them, but
C
you could never kiss a Tory boy without wanting to cut off your tongue again.
Am
A good place to look to the future is when you are sat at the sea, with the
C
salt up to your ankles and a view of the end of the pier, you may
Am
look down at your model’s feet and wish that you’d just float away, and the
C
weather here is overcast and the sea is the same shade of grey, so the
Am
landscape before you looks just like the edge of the world, but to the
C
left side and the right side, either way is a crazy golf course.
Am C
The sea is a good place to think of the future.
Am C
And all you can hear is the sound of your own heart
Am C
And all you can feel is your lungs flood and the blood course
Am C
But oh I can see five hundred years dead set ahead of me
Am
Five hundred behind,
C
A thousand years in perfect symmetry
Am
A thousand years no getting rid of me
C
A thousand years in perfect symmetry.
Am, C until end.

Then for the second half of the verse,
after "she was always far too pretty for me to believe
in a single word she said..." move it up one string, so the same riff is repeated, but
on the A string. Then that finishes with

Then repeat the verse and chorus, and end
on E pretty much. Hopefully a bit more helpful than the other tab.
I grabbed hold of her wrist and my hand closed from tip to tip
I said, you've taken the diet too far, you've got to let it slip
But she's not eating again, she's not eating again
She's not eating again, she's not eating again
I ask her to speak French and then I need her to translate
I get the feeling she makes the meaning more significant
She was always far too pretty for me
To believe in a single word she said, believe a word she said
At fourteen her mother died in a routine operation
From allergic reaction to a general anesthetic
Spent the rest of her teens experimenting with prescriptions
In a futile attempt to know more than the doctors
She said, one day to leave her
Sand up to her shoulders waiting for the tide
To drag her to the ocean, to another sea's shore
This thing hurts like hell but what did you expect
And all you can hear is the sound of your own heart
And all you can feel is your lungs flood and the blood course
But oh I can see five hundred years dead set ahead of me
Five hundred behind, a thousand years in perfect symmetry
Best known left wrist right finger through all the southern states
On every video games machine they call her triple A
There were racists on the radio trying to give up smoking
The chat show host, he joked
You have to wait for the government program
You talk about your politics
And I wonder if you could be one of them
But you could never kiss a Tory boy
Without wanting to cut off your tongue again
A good place to look to the future is
When you are sat at the sea
With the salt up to your ankles
And a view of the end of the pier
You may look down at your model's feet
And wish that you'd just float away
And the weather here is overcast
And the sea is the same shade of gray
So the landscape before you looks just like the edge of the world
But to the left side and the right side
Either way is a crazy golf course
The sea is a good place to think of the future
And all you can hear is the sound of your own heart
And all you can feel is your lungs flood and the blood course
But oh I can see five hundred years dead set ahead of me
Five hundred behind, a thousand years in perfect symmetry
A thousand years no getting rid of me
A thousand years in perfect symmetry

LYRICS:
I grabbed hold of her wrist and my hands closed from tip to tip.
I said, you’ve taken the diet too far, you have got to let it slip
But she’s not eating again,
She’s not eating again,
She’s not eating again,
She’s not eating again,
I ask her to speak French and then I need her to translate.
I get the feeling she makes the meaning more significant.
She was always far too pretty for me to believe in a single word she said
Believe a word she said.
At fourteen, her mother died in a routine operation from allergic reaction to a
general anaesthetic,
Spent the rest of her teens experimenting with prescriptions in a futile attempt to know
more than the doctors.
She said one day to leave her, sand up to her shoulders ,waiting for the tide
To drag her to the ocean, to another sea’s shore, this thing hurts like hell.
But what did you expect?
And all you can hear is the sound of your own heart.
And all you can feel is your lungs flood and the blood course.
But oh, I can see five hundred years dead set ahead of me,
Five hundred behind, a thousand years in perfect symmetry.
Best known left wrist right finger, through all the southern states.
On every video games machine they call her triple a.
They were racists on the radio, trying to give up smoking.
The chat show host , he joked “you have to wait for the government program”
You talk about your politics and I wonder if you could be one of them.
But you could never kiss a tory boy without wanting to cut off your tongue again.
A good place to look at the future is when you are sat at the sea,
With the salt up to your ankles and a view of the end of the pier
You may look down at your model’s feet and wish that you’d just float away.
And the weather here is overcast and the sea is the same shade of gray.
So the landscape before you looks just like the edge of the world.
But to the left side and the right side, either way is a crazy golf course.
The sea is (The sea is)
A good place (A good height)
To think of (To think about the future)
And all you can hear is the sound of your own heart.
And all you can feel is your lungs flood and the blood course.
But oh, I can see five hundred years dead set ahead of me,
Five hundred behind, a thousand years in perfect symmetry.
A thousand years, no getting rid of me.
A thousand years in perfect symmetry.

But you could never kiss a tory boy without wanting to cut off your tongue again.

You may look down at your model's feet and wish that you'd just float away.

I grabbed hold of her wrist and my hand closed from tip to tip
I said, you've taken the diet too far, you've got to let it slip
But she's not eating again, she's not eating again
She's not eating again, she's not eating again
I ask her to speak French and then I need her to translate
I get the feeling she makes the meaning more significant
She was always far too pretty for me
To believe in a single word she said, believe a word she said
At fourteen her mother died in a routine operation
From allergic reaction to a general anesthetic
Spent the rest of her teens experimenting with prescriptions
In a futile attempt to know more than the doctors
She said, one day to leave her
Sand up to her shoulders waiting for the tide
To drag her to the ocean, to another sea's shore
This thing hurts like hell but what did you expect
And all you can hear is the sound of your own heart
And all you can feel is your lungs flood and the blood course
But oh I can see five hundred years dead set ahead of me
Five hundred behind, a thousand years in perfect symmetry
Best known left wrist right finger through all the southern states
On every video games machine they call her triple A
There were racists on the radio trying to give up smoking
The chat show host, he joked
You have to wait for the government program
You talk about your politics
And I wonder if you could be one of them
But you could never kiss a Tory boy
Without wanting to cut off your tongue again
A good place to look to the future is
When you are sat at the sea
With the salt up to your ankles
And a view of the end of the pier
You may look down at your model's feet
And wish that you'd just float away
And the weather here is overcast
And the sea is the same shade of gray
So the landscape before you looks just like the edge of the world
But to the left side and the right side
Either way is a crazy golf course
The sea is a good place to think of the future
And all you can hear is the sound of your own heart
And all you can feel is your lungs flood and the blood course
But oh I can see five hundred years dead set ahead of me
Five hundred behind, a thousand years in perfect symmetry
A thousand years no getting rid of me
A thousand years in perfect symmetry
