Verse:
A                         Bm
When you grab a hold of me
     G                       A 
Tell me I will never be set free
                    Bm
But I'm a parasite,
       G                          A
Creep and crawl I step into the night
               D
Two pints of booze,
         G                      A 
Tell me are you a bad fish too? (are you a badfish too?)

Ain't got no money to spend
D                          A
I know the night will never end
D                   A
Lord knows I'm weak
            D                       E
Won't somebody get me off of this reef?

Verse:
A                           Bm
Baby you're a big blue whale
     G                               A 
Grab the reef when all duck diving fails
      Bm                  G    
I swim, but I wish I never learned
D               G              A
The water's too polluted with germs

             D                           A
I dive deep when it's ten feet over head
   D                               A
Grab the reef from underneath my bed. (underneath my bed but)

Ain't got no time to grow old.

Lord knows I'm weak.
             D                       E
Won't some body get me off of this reef?
