The Wombats - Oceans

      [Intro]
G Bm Em C D G
G Bm Em C D D# G



[Verse 1]
G
It's all kicking off again
G              Em
Words buzz but certainly don’t sink in
C                D                            C D
The rain hits the tiles on the bathroom floor
G             Em
Hissing little rattlesnake
G            Em                    C D
All fired up and ultimately afraid
             G
So slam the door


[Chorus]
D
Cos baby when you talk like that
D                                        Am
The pain moves from my chest to my lower back
       G                        C      D
Are we trying to sell the ocean to the sea?

I thought we could communicate
D                                         Am
Perhaps do a few things the old fashioned way
       G                        C      D
Are we trying to sell the ocean to the sea?

[Instrumental]
G Bm Em C D G
G Bm Em C D D# G

[Verse 2]
G                 Em
I'm praying for a soft exit
G               Em
Good neighbours who occasionally baby sit
C           D                       C D
Then double-cross behind the scenes
G                Em
Yes, okay, maybe, we're probably not
    G            Em                        C D
To end up, a no we go through quite a lot
                G
It needs to stop


[Chorus]
D
Cos baby when you talk like that
D                                        Am
The pain moves from my chest to my lower back
       G                        C      D
Are we trying to sell the ocean to the sea?

I thought we could communicate
D                                         Am
Perhaps do a few things the old fashioned way
       Em                       C       D
Are we trying to sell the ocean to the sea?


[Bridge]
D                                               Am
I punch my head, don’t know what you want from me
       G                               C       D
It's a fucked up world so let's talk about it, please
                                              Am
They wanna make sketch shows about my anxiety dreams
       G                        C      D
Are we trying to sell the ocean to the sea?
