[VERSE 1] (chords in parenthesis not actually played)
 F           (A)             (Bb)  (G)
  Cease to resist, giving my goodbye

         Drive my car into the ocean
 Bb-A-G-F                  A               Bb  G
         You'll think I'm dead, but I sail away

         I've kissed mermaids, rode the el nino
 Bb-A-G-F            A                Bb   G
         Walked the sand with the crustaceans
 Bb-A-G-F              A         Bb  G
         Could find my way to mariana
