       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

Chorus:
       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

I've got this ego mechanic
She's always trying to give me vitamins
Ah, she'd be frightened of your reflection
I preferred her as a cartoon
If I could be someone else for a week
I'd spend it chasing after you
'Cause she's not shattering my attitudes
No matter how she folds the potion

Chorus:
Yours is the only ocean
That I wanna swing from
Yours is the only ocean
That I want to hang on to

       A     F#m
(I’m swinging on)

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                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

                 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?
