The Mermaid

F#m         A                        C     G     D
Don't be deceived by the faces that souls carry around
F#m                        A                   C      G      D
Impulsive creatures that blind you while they sing "la la la la la"
         C            G              D
But be careful, they can break your heart
      C           G              D
So i ask you to please take my eyes
        C*        G*        D
For a while and hold them tight

[Interlude]

Em G D Am
Em G D Am*

[Verse 2]
F#m                    A                       C        G             D
Wrapping you with his fingertips kissing your skin to make you feel loved
          F#m                  A                       C      G             D
You know that you're perfect but when he says it you really think he's the one
     C           G          D
But he's just embellishing words
      C           G             D
So i ask you to please take my eyes
       C*        G*        D
For a while and hold them tight

[Bridge]
    Em            G                    F#m             Am
But even though i want to forget the pigments of your skin
Em              G           F#m              Am
Soggy eyes, angel hair and the waves of your upper lip
Em                     G         F#m           Am
Please don't take your memories away from me, even when they hurt i like to
Em           G                     F#m
Go back and look at everything you were and what you gave to me
Am*
And what you took from me.

[Outro]
    C*      G*                D*
So take my eyes and hold them tight
            C*        G*     D
Or i could borrow yours sometime
          C     G        D
I could borrow yours sometime
                C      G         D
And you could lend me yours for a while
        C       G        D
I could borrow yours sometime
               C           G                  D
And you could show me the world through your eyes.
