    [Intro]
Dm C Bb x5
 
[Verse 1]
Dm           C                   Bb                        Bb
   When we realise, we have only to dive, then we're out of here
                C            G
   We're just skirting on the surface
Dm                  C                 Bb
   We have only to click our fingers and we'll disappear
Bb              C            G
   We're just skirting on the surface
 
[Chorus]
Bb       C             G
   Dull eyes, trying to pull you through the ice
Dm       C            G
   Being drawn to the ledge
Dm           C                  Bb
   When we realise that we are broke and nothing mends
Bb         C            G
   We can drop under the surface
 
[Instrumental]
Dm C Bb x5
Gm Am F Bb
 
[Verse 2]
Dm           C              Bb
   When we realise we are merely held in suspension
Bb             C              G
   'Til someone comes along and shakes us
Dm          C                 Bb
   As the pattern lines cross our fingers like a web
Bb            C          G
   Do we die upon the surface?
 
[Chorus]
Bb       C             G
   Dull eyes, trying to pull you through the ice
Dm       C            F         G
   Being drawn to the ledge
Dm           C                  Bb
   When we realise that we are broke and nothing mends
Bb         C            G
   We can drop under the surface
