[G]How's my Swe[C]et Mot[F]her Russia?
Dis[C]solving I [F]take it
Like [C]sugar and apple [G]juice swallowed

And [C]cherry pie lip[F]stick [C]insisting

Like a [C]fight song whispered
[G]through pillows

[G]To trick your hard stomach
[C]And my warm hands [F]to keep it from turn
[C]ing

Did [C]you know sharks nev[F]er sleep?
Busy [C]bending their spines
[G]to receive you

[Verse 8]
[Am]And this longing [Em]for pleasure
[G]Is all in your head
And [C]silently [F]traveling [C]through oceans
