[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?
