So, I tried to write down the chords and riffs of the acoustic version of "Violently
(Debut Live).
But I believe Bjork never paraphrases this song identically and so this is one version
many!

I tip-toe down to the shore
stand by the ocean
make it roar at me
and I roar back

Violently happy - only you can calm me down and aim too high.
