Oceanographer's Choice

tabbed by Rosa. It might sound better to some to play G as Gm and Csus2 as C, but I'm 100% 
sure this is how he plays it live and 90% sure this is also how he plays it on the recording.

    G  Bb  Eb  Cm   F   D  Csus2
e|--3---1---6---3---1---5---3-----------------------------------------------
B|--3---3---8---4---1---7---3-----------------------------------------------
G|--0---3---8---5---2---7---0-----------------------------------------------
D|--0---3---8---5---3---7---2-----------------------------------------------
A|--2---1---6---3---3---5---3-----------------------------------------------
E|--3---x---x---x---1---x---x-----------------------------------------------

      G
Well, guy in a skeleton costume
Bb                         Eb
Comes up to the guy in the Superman suit
                        G
Runs through him with a broadsword
G
I flipped the television off
      Bb                    Eb
Bring all the bright lights up
               G
Turn the radio up loud

Cm
I don't know why I'm so persuaded
F
That if I think things through
Eb
Long enough and hard enough
D
I'll somehow get to you

             G
But then you came in and we locked eyes
    Csus2
You kicked the ashtray over as we came toward each other
           Eb
Stubbed my cigarette out against the west wall
D
And quickly lit another

G
Look at that, would you look at that?
Csus2
We're throwing off sparks
G           Bb        F          Cm
What will I do when I don't have you
                       D   G
To hold onto in the dark?

Yes, everybody's gonna need a witness
Everybody's gonna need a little back up
In case the scene gets nasty
You throw the attic window open
And I throw myself all around you
And night comes to Tallahassee

I don't know why it's gotten harder to keep myself away
Thought I'd finally beat the feeling back
It all came back today

And then we fell down and we locked arms
We knocked the dresser over as we rolled across the floor
I don't mean it when I tell you
That I don't love you anymore

Look at that, would you look at that?
The way the ceiling starts to swerve
What will I do when I don't have you
When I finally get what I deserve?
