Train – Mermaid Chords

Can’t swim so I took a boat, to an island so remote
Only Johnny Depp has ever been to it before
I stayed there till the air was clear I was bored and out of tears
Then I saw you washed up on the shore

I offered you my coat, thank god this luck can flow
Crazy how that shipwreck met my ship was coming in
We talked till the sun went down, love on the puget sound
My treasure map was on your skin

Beauty in the water, angel on the beach
Ocean’s daughter, I thought love was out of reach
Till I got her, had I known it could come through
I would have wished in ’92, for a mermaid just like you
Whoa, just like you, whoa

Sarks green with envy within they wonder what you see in me
Funny thoughts sometimes can’t help but wonder that as well
Now life is a holiday, making up for the years I paid
The weight of this heavenly bay, it went through hell

Beauty in the water, angel on the beach
Ocean’s daughter, I thought love was out of reach
Till I got her, had I known it could come through
I would have wished in ’92, for a mermaid just like you
Whoa, just like you, whoa

Rescued you bout the banyan tree, all the girl fish in the sea
couldn’t hold a candle to you, they don’t have a handle on you
They don’t have a scandal on you, I love eco sandals on you
Saving me was B-I-G , all the boy fish in the sea
They all wish that they could be me
Can’t swim so I took a boat, to an island so remote
Only Johnny Depp has ever been to it before

Beauty in the water, angel on the beach
Ocean’s daughter, I thought love was out of reach
Till I got her, had I known it could come through
I would have wished in ’92, for a mermaid just like you
Whoa, just like you, whoa
