Ming The Clam Chords by Pearla

       D                G
Well I need to say this out loud
        D             G
Feel it rolling in my ribcage
           D             G
I love you sipping honey beer
             Bm
And watching TV on a Tuesday


        D             G
I’m not certain about much
        D              G
But I’m certain how we touch
      D                    G
Is compelled by some great force
      Bm
Other than us


        D              G
And our sky was like a parachute
D                  G
Big, and blue, and beautiful
    D                G
And we were just two insects
         F#m         Em
Climbing up metallic waterfalls


    F#m                         Em
And I was keeling over from the shedding of my own wall
  F#m                Em
Reminder of my limitations


   G      D       G
 I soak myself in violet
Em        D         G
 I  bloom in violet
Em        A         G  D
 I  bloom in violet


  D              G
I think about it all the time
     D              G
What if you were to die?
  D              G
A self-indulgent pondering
        Bm
Would I call your friends, or would I call mine?


  D             G
I study all the little signs
  D               G
Under fluorescent light


F#m                               Em
Ming the clam, the mystery of the sea
 
Who lived beyond her time
  F#m                     Em
Reminder of the grand creation


     G            D
 How did she keep on fighting?
G    Em             D
 How do you keep on fighting?
G    Em             D
 How do you keep on fighting?
G    Em             A         G
 How do you keep on fighting?
            F#m                        G
But she was gone before they found her out


   D                G
At night I hear you gasping
      D                  G
I rub peppermint on your chest
    D            G
You vomit on the floor
  D               G
I never loved you more
  D               G
I never loved you more
    Bm
Somehow
