Fighting Fish Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]
[Bm]Swimming in a snifter
Pretty as a picture
Don't get it twisted man
[A]her right is a bitch
You can [D]name, you can keep 'em
But take care when you feed her
You never can take the [F#m]fight out the [D]fish
[G]Chomping at the drill bit
Never want to still sit
You can touch my metal with a
[F#m]magnet and some [D]tin snips
[Em]Ink test all I see is cannons
and some wing tips
Pilot pen in pocket I'm [F#m]writ ing i[D]n ink jets
[Bm]Around here we don't
like talk of big dreams
To stand out [A]is a pride of conceit
[D]To aim high is to make waves
to split seams
But that's not what it seem
[F#m]s like to me[D]
[G]I wanna try I wanna risk
And I don't wanna walk
rather [F#m]swing and a [D]miss
I'm [Em]not above apologies
but I don't ask permissions
Got [D]a lot of imper[Em]fections but [F#m]I don't carry
my [D]am bition in [Bm]them

[Verse 2]
Zeno's arrow [Bm]never hits the mark
[C#m]It's always[A] hangin[D]g
there over its shadow
Safe from [F#m]battle,
[D]waste of [G]archer's time and trouble
Waste of effort, waste [F#m]of parts
If [D]you [Em]don't aim for the center
it's a waste [D]of the art

[Verse 3]
[Bm]I didn't come looking for love
I didn't come to pick a [A]fight
[Bm]I didn't come [D]to wave
or take [Bm]pictures
To some [D]benefactor [A]ring on
every broken [Bm]finger
Or extends my wings to get clipped
I know the culture here is
to stay [A]humble but shit
If [D]we all go round bowed heads
If never none of us go for the belt [F#m]who wi[D]ns
[G]My mother says I've
loved too many men
But I took and left something
[F#m]in every [D]bed[Em]
Turns his head
The night might rise up in
[F#m]vestigate the [D]grid
[Bm]Bend the genre, I guess I'm on one
Both [A]the constructs
[D]Women, children let me tell
I've been both
And it's a myth we [F#m]all swim
for the [D]life boats
[G]I didn't come looking for love
I didn't come looking for a [F#m]fight[D]
[Em]I come her[D]e every night
[Em]to work
[F#m]And you can [D]pic[Bm]k an

[Verse 4]
Zeno's arrow never hits the mark
[A]It's alw[D]ays hanging
there over its shadow
Safe from [F#m]battle,
[D]waste [G]of archer's time and trouble
Waste of effort, waste [F#m]of parts
If [D]you [Em]don't aim for the center
it's a waste [D]of the art

[Verse 5]
[Bm]Self taught, self made,then self styled
Self [A]came[D]
We march in converse
[F#m]Own to[D]ols[G]
My joints hold steady
[F#m]Chucks laced [D]ready
I [Em]travel by kite, [D]travel
Touchdown
[A]I make my own luck now

[Verse 6]
[Bm]Zeno's arrow never hits the mark
[A]It's alw[D]ays hanging with its own
[F#m]shadow [D]in [G]the dark
It's always hanging with its own
[F#m]shadow [D]in the dark
[Em][D][Em][F#m][D]
