Verse (F with Riff1)
Riptide pulls me out into the open sea
My toes dangle for a place to stand and be
Chorus (Eb F C# Bb F)
(G: 2 3 B:1 G:3 2)
Oh starry night come and chart a course
Or send me a boat with an anchor set
I'll pull myself
Ashore
Verse (F with Riff1)
Left with essence
Of the moon and stars and night
There's no other route
I cannot take self to flight
Bridge (Eb F)
I'll float here with the shrimp and brine
And on my cheeks and hair
The salt will always shine
And with this phosphorescence map
A sailor's chart a mermaid's hand
Something I'll find
Chorus (Eb F C# Bb F)
