Tom: F#m
F#m E C#m F#m
(It was lovely, what a turn-on)
F#m E C#m F#m
F#m E C#m F#m
[Verse 1]
N.C.
I'm home alone in your flat, bed sheets around my head
N.C.
The hum of daytime TV moans like the Walking Dead
[Chorus]
N.C.
(Dive into the darkness) and it is thick and black
N.C.
(Blooms of phosphorescence) cover my throat and back
[Verse 2]
F#m E C#m F#m
A bloom of phosphorescence ignites around my form
F#m E C#m F#m
Like chalk around a body, like light inside a storm
[Chorus]
F#m E C#m F#m
(Dive into the darkness) and it is thick and black
F#m E C#m F#m
(Coats my tongue and tendons) covers my throat and back
F#m E C#m F#m
F#m E C#m F#m
[Verse 3]
F#m E C#m F#m
I wade in brackish water, eelgrass around my feet
F#m E C#m F#m
My jeans are wet and dirty, my body craving sleep
[Hook]
F#m E C#m F#m
(Dive into the darkness) and it is thick and black
F#m E C#m F#m
(Blooms of phosphorescence) cover my throat and back
[Verse 4]
F#m E C#m F#m
I paint the walls with treacle, pour honey on my phone
F#m E C#m F#m
I put my best T-shirt on, wait for you to come home
[Chorus]
F#m E C#m F#m
(Rise into the darkness) and it is thick and black
F#m E C#m F#m
(Dreams of phosphorescence) cover my throat and back
F#m E C#m F#m
(Rise into the darkness) and it is thick and black
F#m E C#m F#m
(Dreams of phosphorescence) cover my throat and back
[Outro]
N.C.
I want to sound like a magical sound
N.C.
I want to be like a magical beast
N.C.
I want to shop in a magical shop
N.C.
I want to swim in a magical cave (Oh, yes)
F#m E
I want to buzz like a magical bee
C#m F#m
(I want to sound like a magical sound)
F#m E
I want to die in a magical dream
C#m F#m
(I want to be like a magical beast)
F#m E
I want to climb in a magical tree
C#m F#m
(I want to shop in a magical shop)
F#m E
I want to dance with a magical boy
C#m F#m
(I want to swim in a magical cave)
F#m E
I want a kiss from a magical girl
C#m E
(I want to sound like a magical sound)
F#m E
I want to sing with a magical band
C#m F#m
(I want to swim in a magical cave)
F#m
(Oh, yes)
