C  F    Dm            G         C
My man, muscles from hand to foot
           F       Dm       G      C
completely coated in uninterrupted skin
C   F    Dm       G
My man signals command the
  C           F      Dm               G
leg to follow orders coming down from headquarters
Eb   Ab  Fm      Bb
Why then am I in bed?
  C        F             Dm          G
I guess my man's falling out with my head

[Chorus]
C                   G                         Dm
May I direct your attention to the following simile
                 F
You're like the coasts of an ocean
G                       Dm
Buried beneath is the submarine cable
   F                    G
connecting the opposite shore that's surrounding

[Verse 2]
C   F   Dm          G
My man, how can he stand
     C              F       Dm               G
Your fingers could encircle clear around the ankle
C   F  Dm          G
My man won't walk again
   C               F          Dm              G
In conflict with expressed instructions given by the brain
Eb  Ab        Fm         Bb
Why can't the message be sent?
  C        F            Dm          G
I guess my man's fallen out with my head.

[Chorus]
C                         G                     Dm
When something happens to drag the floor of the ocean,
                F
for instance an anchor or mooring,
G                    Dm                 F
 the cable can be disrupted and even be severed
 F               G
which halts transmission across it

[Solo]
Eb  Bb  Ab  Fm

Fm                             Bb
 There is no way to repair the break

C  F  Dm  G

[Verse 3]
C  F    Dm            G         C
My man, muscles from hand to foot
           F       Dm       G      C
completely coated in uninterrupted skin
C   F    Dm       G
My man signals command the
  C           F      Dm               G
leg to follow orders coming down from headquarters
C  F    Dm          G
My man, how can he stand
   C    F           Dm       G
My man, muscles from hand to foot
Eb  Ab        Fm         Bb        C
completely coated in uninterrupted skin
C  F         Dm    G
My man won't walk again
