Potion Approaching – Arctic Monkeys

One of my favorite songs of Arctic Monkeys’ fantastic album “Humburg”. Enjoy.

Intro:

I was biting the time zone,
And we embellish the banks of our bloodstreams,
And threw caution to the colourful
And then we fell asleep in the car,
Until the bumps woke me up in your grip
And the tide took me to your mouth,
And then swept me back down to your palms
It’s them that put me inside the reminder

That yours is the only ocean,
(Yours Is the only ocean)
That I wanna swing from,
Yours is the only ocean,
That I wanna hang on

I’ve got this ego mechanic,
She’s always trying to give me vitamins
Oh she’d be frightened of your reflection,
I preferred her as a cartoon
If I could be someone else for a week,
I’d spend it chasing after you,
Cos she’s not shattering my attitude,
No matter how she folds the potion

Yours is the only ocean,
(Yours Is the only ocean)
That I wanna swing from,
Yours is the only ocean,
That I want to hang on-...-to

(I’m swinging on)

Yours is the only ocean,
Yours is the only ocean,
Yours is the only ocean,
Yours is the only ocean

(In the next section, the F#m chord is 3 times longer than the E chord.)

Potion approaching, shield your eyes,
Potion approaching, visualize,
Holding a token, swollen in size,
Potion approaching, shield your eyes

Oh but if we’re gonna escape though,
We really ought to think it through,
Would you like me to build you a go kart?
