Mermaids - Paul Weller
---------

Verse 1

N/C         C    D            G        (N/C at start, G in second verse)
She's in my head, she's in my mind

                B     D  
And I'm all she says

        C        G    D               G               
Yes she knows me well, as well as you can

{Repeat chords for second verse}


Verse 2

She's on my side, I often hide
In her magic hair
And there I learn again - the joy of life


Bridge

G                B   D           C    
The wonder of it all, and this I feel

                   B     D               C   G D 
that through her I learn, another way to be 

D            C  G D              G 
Sha-la-la-la-laa,   Sha-la-la-la-laa     and so on...

(this is the recognisable rift - C G D - strum C twice and G and D once)


Chorus

[G] Bm7               Am7
You take my breath, I feel consumed

D                C          G
Take it all - I want to know

     B            D     C          G
What lies behind - your smiles and shells

D               G
Wish I knew you well



Verse 3

Come in my head
Come in my mind
You can only love, when you open up
To be yourself
