 	in the ocean of the dark 
           D              G 
 	i hang my hands over the sides 
             D                  G 
 	and pray that god knows why 
          C                 G 
 	drifting somewhere in the black 
          F                        G 
 	feeling (low?) 'neath the blanket 
                 C             G 
 	and the weight of the mattress 
             F               G 
 	the mistress of the sheets

 	a throne off which you can (?) from 
                   D                   G 
 	i hang my hands and feet over the sides 
             D                             G        D 
 	and pray to the space of what can never be known
