[Intro]
A (A)  (A)   E
 
 
[Verse 1]
C#m                  A
I still remember the words you said
F#m                       B       G#
They were hard enough to leave a mark
C#m                 A
And now they echo inside my head
F#m                B      G#
As I spiral down into the dark
A                 E
I windmill upside down
F#m                 C#m    B
Knowing you'll come at me again
A                      F#m
And I feel your shadow pass above me
 
 
[Chorus]
Esus E  Esus E
Octopus
             Esus E  Esus E
Some kind of octopus
           Bm         F#m
Tearing my shell apart
            C#m
Letting the sea get in
    A                      E
You make my insides outside
 
 
[Verse 2]
C#m                  A
I don't think I ever saw you blink
F#m                         B      G#
You were so controlled that no one knew
C#m                    A
And by the time we all stopped to think
F#m                 B        G#
We were already too close to you
A                   E
Now you keep coming by
F#m             C#m        B
Telling me it's not what I think
      A             F#m
But I know a murder when I see one
 
 
[Chorus]
Esus E  Esus E
Octopus
             Esus E  Esus E
Some kind of octopus
           Bm         F#m
Tearing my shell apart
            C#m
Letting the sea get in
    A
You make my insides outside
 
 
[Bridge]
A        B             A             B
And far above me I can see the world
A        B             A    B
Receding slowly out of view
A           B               A            B
The sinking feeling that my worst mistake
A           B                 A
Was all the time I spent with you
 
 
[Verse 3]
C#m                        A
You said you're sorry, you said you'd try
F#m                  B           G#
But you never did, I guess we're done
C#m                   A
Now bits of pieces of me float by
      F#m             B    G#
And I die in front of everyone
A                  E
And you're already gone
F#m            C#m       B
Halfway to wherever you sleep
        A               F#m
And you make me wish I never met you
 
 
[Chorus]
Esus E  Esus E
Octopus
             Esus E  Esus E
Some kind of octopus
           Bm         F#m
Tearing my shell apart
            C#m
Letting the sea get in
    A
You make my insides outside
