[VERSE ONE]

            C#m7b5     Cmaj7     
It's always locusts or floods or 
G       Em
drought
              Cmaj7      G
And then it's parties or prayer
   C#m7b5              Cmaj7    G 
He picks a girl he can live 
 Em
without
             Cmaj7     G
And puts her down over there


[CHORUS]

       Em                 Am7     
Philly thinks and when he thinks 
        G       D
he can't feel anymore
       Em            Am7          
Philly drinks and he drinks all 
  G              D
the drunks hit the floor
       Em                A7       
Philly sinks and when he sinks you
    Em
 go down
        A7          Cmaj7 G F Am G
And you do you both drown


[VERSE ONE]

       C#m7b5       Cmaj7   G   Em
Congratulations you hit the mark
            Cmaj7       G
You got the bird on the wing
        C#m7b5  C           G
The animatronic bloodhounds bark
Em            Cmaj7        G
  The wind up mockingbirds sing


[CHORUS]

       Em                 Am7     
Philly thinks and when he thinks 
         G       D
you can't feel anymore
       Em                 Am7     
Philly drinks at least he did when
     G          D
 you knew him before
       Em                 A7      
Philly sinks, but now the glass is
   Em
 a girl
            A7        Cmaj7 G F Am G
And now the girl is a frown


[BRIDGE]

Em                        A
  But you can put in your orb
                       C
What you're hoping for more
         G             F          
Like the gulls and the freighters 
     C        Em
they follow around
                       A        
And if the rowing gets dull just 
                     C
knock a hole in the hull
            G     F           C   
And let the ocean swallow you down
G Em G Em G Cmaj7 G



[CHORUS]

       Em                 Am7     
Philly thinks and when he thinks 
        G       D
he can't swim anymore
       Em               Am7       
Philly drinks until the tide pulls
  G            D
 away from the shore
       Em                A7       
Philly sinks and when he sinks you
    Em
 go down
        A7          Cmaj7 G F Am G
And you do you both drown
