The Howl & The Hum


Tom: Em

E5   Em

[Verse 1]
Em
I wish I was a shark
E                               D
So I'd never know what it would feel like to start
Am                                   E
Knowing there was motion once before
Em
I wish I was a shark
E                               D
So I'd never know what it would feel like to start
F#m                           Em     E     Em
Knowing there was motion once before


[Verse 2]
C#m       C                               Em
Oh, how I wish I'd never found you in the cold
C#m          C                         Em
Oh, but the daily sirens always walk alone


[Chorus]
C#m
Mama said those hammerheads will break your heart
C
Forget about you, move along
                             Em
I wish I was, I wish I was a shark
Em
I smell blood
Em
I smell blood
Em
I smell blood
         E5
In the water
          D
But is it mine?
       C#m
Is it mine?
       Em
Is it mine?


[Verse 3]
    D
The note is flayed
    C
The bed is made
    D                 C
You left him and forgot his name
    D
You even cry
      C
Dream filthy dreams
    D
And smile a smile
    C
Somewhere it is clear


[Instrumental]
Em    E

[Verse 4]
Em
Pray that I'm not prey

Something in the way
       D
Oh the beast, it must keep moving
  C#m                          E
A hunger that can never go away
C#m       C                               Em
Oh, how I wish I'd never found you in the cold
C#m          C                         Em
Oh, but the daily sirens always walk alone


[Chorus]
C#m
Mama said those hammerheads will break your heart
C
Forget about you, move along
                             Em
I wish I was, I wish I was a shark
