How To Embrace A Swamp Creature 
 

D                           A
Got out of bed, could not remember my own name
D                                      A
Condemned to walk the soil amongst all creatures wild and tame
D              A
Go where I go, do what I must 
D                           A
Crawl starving on my belly, licking up the dry dust

Bm
I See the light in your window
Em
Ride the elevator to the sixth floor
G                                     A
Stand with my arms at my sides as you open up the door
                   D              G
But I’m out of my element I can’t breathe
               Em              D             G – D - G
I’m out of my element, I can’t breathe

D                                A
Alone with your bathroom mirror, try to get my head straight
D                                              A
Breathe on the glass and wait for it to clear, clean slate
D                                         A
Meet up with you in the kitchen where the air is hot and dry
D                           A
Open up all the faucets, be fruitful and multiply

Bm                Em
I stand where the flashing swords gleam
      G                    A
And I try to shake my head clear of the dream
                   D              G
But I’m out of my element I can’t breathe
               Em              D             G – D - G
I’m out of my element, I can’t breathe


I start to sweat I can’t cool down

I’m scared of all the strangers in this town

I try to tell you just why I’ve come

It’s like I’ve got molasses on my tongue

Bm                           Em         
           I made it through town somehow
G                            A
          But who’s going to save me now?
                   D              G
But I’m out of my element I can’t breathe
               Em              D             Gm – D - Gm
I’m out of my element, I can’t breathe
