[Verse]

D            Dsus2           D  
A daydream spills from my corked
       Dsus2
 head
                   Bm
Breaks free of my wooden neck
G               Gm
Left to nod oversleeping waves
D            Dsus2          D   
Like bobbing bait for bathing 
    Dsus2
cod
                   Bm
Floating flocks of candle swans
G              Gm
Slowly drift across wax ponds


[Chorus]

Continues after the ad
D            Bm            
 The men all played along to 
 F#m             Bm
marching drums
            F#m          Bm       
And boy did they have fun behind 
   A
the sea
          D        Bm             
They sang, “so our matching legs 
   F#m             Bm
are marching clocks
          F#m          Bm          
And we’re all too small to talk to 
A
god
           D            Bm        
Yes, we’re all too smart to talk 
  A
to god"


[Verse]

D         Dsus2              D  
Toast the fine folks casting 
            Dsus2
silver crumbs
      Bm
To us from the dock.
G                     Gm
Jinxed things ringing as they leak
D            Dsus2      
Through tiny cracks in the 
     D        Dsus2
boardwalk.
                   Bm
Scarecrow now it’s time to hatch
G                  Gm         (stop)
 D
Sprouting sons and ageless 
daughters.


[Middle 8]

D                C               
Those watermelon smiles just 
             Am7
can’t ripen underwater
Just can’t ripen underwater


[Chorus]

D            Bm            
 The men all played along to 
 F#m             Bm
marching drums
            F#m          Bm       
And boy did they have fun behind 
   A
the sea
          D        Bm             
They sang, “so our matching legs 
   F#m             Bm
are marching clocks
          F#m          Bm          
And we’re all too small to talk to 
A
god
           D            Bm        
Yes, we’re all too smart to talk 
  A
to god"
