[Verse 1]
   E           Emaj7     A            
Excuse me but can I be you for a while
   E          Emaj7       A          E
My dog won't bite if you sit real still
              Emaj7          A              E         A    
I got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yellin' at me again
            B
Yeah I can hear that
      E      Emaj7         A          E
Been saved again by the garbage truck
        Emaj7      A          
I got something to say you know
          E
But nothing comes
    Emaj7      A          E
Yes I know what you think of me
                A    
You never shut-up
           B
Yeah I can hear that

[Chorus]
    A                B
But what if I'm a mermaid
           A    
In these jeans of his
         B7 
With her name still on it
       A    
Hey but I don't care
      B    
Cause sometimes
       A    
I said sometime I hear my voice
B             C#m7  D   B 
  And it's been   here
A                N.C.

[Verse 2]
E       Emaj7     
So you found a girl
            A           E
Who thinks really deep thougts
          Emaj7          A            E
What's so amazing about really deep thoughts
             Emaj7   A    E          A    
Boy you best pray that I bleed real soon
         B
How's that thought for you
    E        Emaj7        A    E
My scream got lost in a paper cup
                    Emaj7    
You think there's a heaven
           A             E
Where some screams have gone
           Emaj7       A  
I got 25 bucks and a cracker
        E             A    
Do you think it's enough
      B
To get us there

[Chorus]
    A                B
But what if I'm a mermaid
           A    
In these jeans of his
         B7 
With her name still on it
       A    
Hey but I don't care
      B    
Cause sometimes
       A    
I said sometime I hear my voice
B             C#m7  D   B 
  And it's been   here
A                
Silent All These 

[Bridge]
Emaj7    B  
Years go by
        A          B  
Will I still be waiting
G#m  A                B      
 For somebody else to un - derstand
E         B  
Years go by
      A                B
If I'm stripped of my beauty
        A    
And the orange clouds
        B      
Raining  in   my head
E        B
Years go by
        C#m7       B
Will I choke on my tears
      A               E    B
Till finally there is not - hing left
E        B        A   
One more casualty
         B          A            B    
You know we're too easily  easily  easilyy

[Verse 3]
       E       Emaj7      A     E
Well I love the way we communicate
              Emaj7    A         E
Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape
                    Emaj7    A         
Let's hear what you think of me now
         E        A    
But baby don't look up
    B
The sky is falling
         E       Emaj7      A     E
Your mother shows up in a nasty dress
                Emaj7    A         E
It's your turn now to stand where I stand
             Emaj7    A         
Everybody lookin' at you here
  E                A    
Take hold of my hand
     B
Yeah I can hear them

[Chorus]
    A                B
But what if I'm a mermaid
           A    
In these jeans of his
         B7 
With her name still on it
       A    
Hey but I don't care
      B    
Cause sometimes
       A    
I said sometime I hear my voice
B            A    
  I hear my voice 
  I hear my voice 
B             C#m7  D   B 
  And it's been   here
A                 Emaj7
Silent All These years
       G#m   
I've been 
C#m7  D   B 
   here
A                   E     
   Silent All These Years
