Hear the cavemen singing

G     C
Seven seas
G                C
Swimming them so well
G       C
Glad to see
   G
My face among them
C                    C
Kissing the tortoise shell

C
A longing for
Some fresher feelings
Belonging or
Just forever kneeling
Where is the sense in stealing
Without the grace to be it

repeat chorus + guitar break

C                      F
Burning my bridges and smashing my mirrors
C                        F
Turning to see if you're cowardly
C                        F
Burning the witches with mother religious
C                             F
You'll strike the matches and shower me
   C (with bass intro riff)
In water games, washing the rocks below
Taught and tamed in time with tear flow

repeat chorus and end
