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)
Eb F (G: 2 3 B:1 G:3 2)
Oh starry night come and chart a course
C#
Or send me a boat with an anchor set
Bb
I'll pull myself
F
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)
Eb
I'll float here with the shrimp and brine
And on my cheeks and hair
F
The salt will always shine
Eb
And with this phosphorescence map
A sailor's chart a mermaid's hand
F
Something I'll find
Chorus (Eb F C# Bb F)
