Verse 1:
F      Bb
Black fins,
C                Bb
waiting for the tide to roll
F    Bb
Back in,
C               Bb
soaking in the sun and I know
F          Bb
It's just another
C                Bb
little piece of ocean trash and
F     Bb
Not you,
C               Bb            F     Bb
just a little ghost I keep around
C               Bb             F Bb C Bb
A funny shadow always hanging out

Chorus:
F                         Bb
If your ashes sprang to life,
                        C
would you just let me down?
F                            Bb
Would you leave those kids again
                    C
and kick 'em outta town
F                    Bb
I guess we'll never know,
  C                   Bb
I'll just be here wondering
      F                 Bb
What made you choose to go?
     C                  Bb         F Bb C Bb
The day that you went down to Mexico
       F Bb C Bb
To Mexico

Verse 2:
F      Bb
Black fins,
C              Bb
full of life again and suddenly
F            Bb
It's all pretend,
C            Bb
every manic word you wrote us
F                    Bb
Now there's time to mend,
C              Bb
every broken heart that you left
F                 Bb
In your gust of wind,
C              Bb               F
No more little ghost I keep around
                 Bb
(No more little ghost I keep around)
C              Bb             F
No more funny shadow in my house
                Bb
(No more funny shadow in my house)

Chorus:
F                         Bb
If your ashes sprang to life,
                        C
would you just let me down?
F                            Bb
Would you leave those kids again
                    C
and kick 'em outta town
F                    Bb
I guess we'll never know,
  C                   Bb
I'll just be here wondering
     F               Bb
What made you wanna go?
     C                 Bb
The day that you went down to Mexico

Bridge:
F       Bb
Black fins,
C           Bb                F
one more metaphor for scuba gear
       Bb
Black fins,
C               Bb                      F
wish I would've known you through the years
       Bb
Black fins,
C               Bb          F
wish I never went to Illinois
       Bb
Black fins,
C             Bb               F
filling up on milk and chips ahoy
       Bb        C
Black fins, black fins
       Bb        F
Black fins, black fins
       Bb        C
Black fins, black fins
       Bb
Black fins
