Of Montreal

Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
the  secret ocean and its coast
fills  out in to the room
and  it  made me think of how you float away
to  another distant room, embracing the unknown
and i  wonder what you're doing there today
'cause  i'm always thinking of you
your  invisible rays slice me in 2
you crush  me every day, make me change my shape
i could  be anything you want me to
 (end chorus)
drifting  along
those  golden doorways
you  tried  to duck your head
but  the ceiling sticks along you (?)
and  lifts you up into a place
where  you can be anything you want to
an  old dead branch
a  big red n
a  singing clam
 (this is how the "bum, bum, bum/oooooing" part goes):
 then, just repeat the song from the beginning, playing, for the outro lines;
 three times. enjoy!
