🎸 Intro: Em Bm C G D 🎸 Verse 1: Em Bm The ground reaches out to catch me softly in her baseball mitt C G D I'm tired of the dirt and grit, I want something soft Em Bm I'm a fish in a bucket, thrashing, he tried to take me out, hooks in my mouth C G Listen to me when I say "ouch", I want something soft 🎸 Pre-Chorus: Em So I give in to the fall, fall, fall Bm C I need somethin' soft, down feathers over rocks C G D I died and I land with both of my hands, in the mud, the mud Em It felt like a god how she held me Bm I slept on her shoulder, I gave her my all C G D Em I bathed in her waterfalls, and continue to fall, fall
