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
