One of my favorite songs of Arctic Monkeys' fantastic album "Hamburg". Enjoy.
Intro:
F#m G F#m G F#m
G F#m
G F#m G
I was biting the time zone,
F#m G F#m G
And we embellish the banks of our bloodstreams,
F#m G A
And threw caution to the colourful
G F#m G
And then we fell asleep in the car,
F#m G F#m G
Until the bumps woke me up in your grip
F#m G A
And the tide took me to your mouth,
G F#m G
And then swept me back down to your palms
F#m G A
It’s them that put me inside the reminder
G F#m
That yours is the only ocean,
A F#m
(Yours Is the only ocean)
A F#m
That I wanna swing from,
A F#m
Yours is the only ocean,
A
That I wanna hang on
F#m G F#m G
F#m G F#m

G F#m G
I've got this ego mechanic,
F#m G F#m G
She’s always trying to give me vitamins
F#m G A
Oh she’d be frightened of your reflection,
G F#m G
I preferred her as a cartoon
F#m G F#m G
If I could be someone else for a week,
F#m G A
I’d spend it chasing after you,
G F#m G
Cos she’s not shattering my attitude,
F#m G A
No matter how she folds the potion
G F#m
Yours is the only ocean,
A F#m
(Yours Is the only ocean)
A F#m
That I wanna swing from,
A F#m
Yours is the only ocean,
A F#m
That I want to hang on-...-to
A F#m A F#m
A F#m
A F#m
(I’m swinging on)
A F#m A F#m A F#m A
F#m A F#m A
Yours is the only ocean,
F#m A F#m A
Yours is the only ocean,
F#m A F#m A
Yours is the only ocean,
F#m A F#m A
Yours is the only ocean
F#m
[In the next section, the F#m chord is 3 times longer than the E chord.]
E F#m
E F#m E F#m
E F#m E
F#m E F#m E
Potion approaching, shield your eyes,
F#m E F#m E
Potion approaching, visualize,
F#m E F#m E
Holding a token, swollen in size,
F#m E F#m
Potion approaching, shield your eyes
E
F#m G F#m G
F#m G F#m
G F#m G
Oh but if we’re gonna escape though,
F#m G F#m G
We really ought to think it through,
F#m G A G F#m
Would you like me to build you a go kart?
