[Bb]
Sun's coming up like a big [F] bald head, bogeying up on the grocery store.
It's [Bb] Sharky's day, Sharky's day today.
[F] Sharky wakes up and Sharky says, [Bb] there was this man and there was this road [F] and if only
I could remember these dreams.
I know they're trying to tell me something.
[Bb]
Strange dreams.
[Cm]
[Bb]
And Sharky says, I turn around, I [F]
turn around again.
And it's [Bb] love.
Oh yeah.
Strange dreams.
[F]
[Bb] And a little girl sings.
Sharky!
[F] And the manager says, Mr.
Sharky?
He's not at his desk right now.
Could I take a message?
And the little girl [Bb] sings.
[F] Sharky.
Sharky.
[Bb] Sharky.
Sharky.
[F] Sharky's Mr.
Heartbreak.
And Sharky [Bb] says, all of nature talks to me.
If I could just figure out what it was trying to tell me.
[F] Listen.
Tears are swinging in the breeze.
[A]
[Bb] They're talking to me.
[C] Insects are rubbing their legs together.
[D] They're all talking.
They're talking to me.
And short animals.
[Bb] They're bucking up on their hind legs.
Talking.
Talking to me.
Hey, [F] look out!
Monster crawling in my life.
[Bb] You know, I'd rather see this on [F] TV.
Talking to me.
Sharky says, [Bb] I turn around, [F] I turn around again.
And it's [Bb] love.
Nobody knows me.
[F] Nobody knows my name.
[Bb] And Sharky says, [F] all night long I think of those little planes up there.
Flying around, you can't even see them.
[Bb] They're spats.
And they're full of tiny people.
Going places.
And Sharky says, you know, I bet they could all land on the head [F] of a pin.
W-I-W-I.
W-I-W [Bbm]-I.
W-I -W [Eb]-I.
And [Bbm]
the [Eb] [F] little girls sing.
[Bb]
This [F] is the hard way.
[Bb] They sing.
To reach.
[F] It's a small day.
On the edge of the lake.
[Bb] He's a whole landscape gone to seed.
He's gone wild.
[F] And all is lit.
Midnight.
And the road's frosty.
Long [Bb] time ago.
And [F] Sharky says, [D] [F] camera.
[D]
[Bb] From the beginning of the movie, they know they have to find each other.
[F] But they ride off in opposite directions.
[C] [Bb]
He says, I turn around.
It's fear.
[F] I turn around again.
And it's [Bb] love.
Nobody knows me.
[F] Nobody knows my name.
[Bb] [F]
[Eb]
[F]
[A] You [F] know, they're growing mechanical genes.
They go to their full height.
And then they chop themselves [Bb] down.
Sharky says, all [F] life comes from some strange food.
It rises [Bb] up.
It fucks up.
To its [F] full height.
From a boggy swamp on a foggy night.
He creeps in your house.
It's light.
It's light.
[Bb] I turn around.
It's fear.
[F] I turn around again.
And it's [Bb] love.
Nobody knows me.
[F] Nobody knows my name.
[Bb]
Deep in the heart.
Of darkest America.
Home of the [F] brave.
Ah, ah, ah.
You've already paid for this.
Listen to my heartbeat.
[Bb] [F]
[Bb] [F] [Bb]
Little girls sing.
Ooh, wee.
Sharky, [F] he's a son of daddy.
I'm the uncle of the moon.
They sing all the time.
[Bb]
Ooh, wee.
Sharky, [F]
he's hit the heartbreak.
Sharky.
[Bb] Sharky says, I turn around.
It's fear.
[F]
I turn around again.
And it's [Bb] love.
Little girls sing.
Ooh,
[F] wee.
Sharky.
[Gm] [Bb] [F] On top of all the smokey.
All covered with snow.
That's where I wanna.
[Bb] That's where I'm gonna.
[F]
