[Verse 1]
G             D       C
Echoes from a nursery rhyme
G                   Am       Em
Hide in plain sight all this time
C                                      C/B  G
Here you come splashing in your summer clothes
             D         C     G
You and your pale pink toes
G                    D      C
Just there where the shadow falls
G               Am      Em
There we follow one and all
C                         C/B  G
Can't resist the creeping dark
         D        C
Ready to make our mark
 
 
[Chorus]
Cmaj9      G                D              C
Little red fish beneath the surface of the water
G           F              C           G
Testing the break point in case we get lucky
 
 
[Verse 2]
G                D       C
Ancient blood is patient blood
G              Am       Em
We were here before the flood
C                      C/B   G
Waking for our time to shine
            D      C     G
Sparks in a silver mine
G                     D       C
Shorebirds deal death all day long
G               Am       Em
We are weak but they are strong
C                       C/B    G
Lose some friends along the way
            D        C
Then in you come one day
 
 
[Chorus]
Cmaj9      G                D              C
Little red fish beneath the surface of the water
              G    D          C
Scales in the sun, stars in a shot glass
G           F              C           G
Testing the break point in case we get lucky

[Verse 3]
G                     D       C
Take your time, we've got all day
G                 Am        Em
Days beyond that, come what may
   C                     C/B       G
If you get home tell all your friends
                  D     C     G
The spawning tide never ends
G                          D        C
Say what you felt when you found us here
G                         Am      Em
Here where the waters run crystal clear
C                             C/B    G
One summer day in your summer clothes
                D       C
The day you saw several ghosts
 
 
[Chorus]
Cmaj9      G                D              C
Little red fish beneath the surface of the water
           G             D                C
Hungry for years, senses sharpened by the hunger
G           F              C           G
Testing the break point in case we get lucky
G           F              C           G
Testing the break point in case we get lucky
