[Opening]
[E]Cancelled the hot hipster [A]threesome for you
‘Cause [F#m]I preach a freedom, but you’re a fucking great excuse
Plus I’d [E]rather get naked and swim in [A]your blow-up pool
And [F#m]dry our dolphin bodies off and question your tattoos

[chorus]
‘Cause [A]he’s so pretty [E]when he goes down on me
[F#m]Gold-skinned eager baby, [A]blue shirt out the laundry
[A]He tells me he’s [E]gentle when he wants to be
[F#m]So I think he wants to be [A]gentle with me

[verse 2]
[E]Such a short drive to get to [F#m]the touch tank to you
[A]Deep sea pearl, my soft manta ray (Manta ray)
[E]Tender two fingers that touch [F#m]the display
[A]I used to dive deep ’til I got splashed in the face [F#m] [A]

[chorus]
[A]He’s so pretty [E]when he goes down on me
[F#m]Gold-skinned eager baby, [A]blue shirt out the laundry
[A]He tells me he’s [E]gentle when he wants to be
[F#m]So I think he wants to be [A]gentle with me

[Closing]
[A]You took my breath [F#m]away, so now I can’t [C#m]suck in my stomach [E]around you anymore
[A]We’re too old to [F#m]live with our parents
Do you [C#m]wanna wake up to me [A]every morning? [F#m] [C#m] [E]
Every [A]morning, [F#m] [C#m] [E]every [A]morning (I’m swimming [F#m]into you)
I’ll [C#m]tumble to the ocean in a [E]parachute
[A]I am swimming [F#m]into you, I’ll [C#m]tumble to the ocean [B]

[chorus]
[A]He’s so pretty [E]when he goes down on me
[F#m]Gold-skinned eager baby, [A]blue shirt out the laundry
[A]He tells me he’s [E]gentle when he wants to be
[F#m]So I think he wants to be [A]gentle with me
[A] [E] [F#m] [A] [A] [E] [F#m] [A]
