intro : A ( A ) ( A ) E

verse 1 :

C#m A
i still remember the words you said
F#m B G#
they were hard enough to leave a mark
C#m A
and now they echo inside my head
F#m B G#
as i spiral down into the dark
A E
i windmill upside down
F#m C#m B
knowing you’ll come at me again
A F#m
and i feel your shadow pass above me

chorus :

Esus E Esus E
octopus
Esus E Esus E
some kind of octopus
Bm F#m
tearing my shell apart
C#m
letting the sea get in
A E
you make my insides outside

verse 2 :

C#m A
i don’t think i ever saw you blink
F#m B G#
you were so controlled that no one knew
C#m A
and by the time we all stopped to think
F#m B G#
we were already too close to you
A E
now you keep coming by
F#m C#m B
telling me it’s not what i think
A F#m
but i know a murder when i see one

chorus :

Esus E Esus E
octopus
Esus E Esus E
some kind of octopus
Bm F#m
tearing my shell apart
C#m
letting the sea get in
A
you make my insides outside

bridge :

A B A B
and far above me i can see the world
A B A B
receding slowly out of view
A B A B
the sinking feeling that my worst mistake
A B A
was all the time i spent with you

verse 3 :

n . C .
you said you’re sorry , you said you’d try
but you never did , i guess we’re done
now bits of pieces of me float by
and i die in front of everyone
and you’re already gone
halfway to wherever you sleep
and you make me wish i never met you

chorus :

Esus E Esus E
octopus
Esus E Esus E
some kind of octopus
Bm F#m
tearing my shell apart
C#m
letting the sea get in
A
you make my insides outside
