 [INTRO]

   Dm F G  x2
 . 
  Dm              F                G 
 I thought that I was hungry for love
  Dm                F             G
 Maybe I was just hungry for blood

 Dm                      G 
 Sea foam woman on the shore
  Dm                                  G 
 Your prairie ghost, I'm a cottage whore
  Dm                            G 
 All the mermaids have sharp teeth
   Dm                      G
 Razor blades all in your feet

  Dm F G  x2

 [VERSE ONE]
            Dm                   F 
 England is only ever grey or green
               Am
 The girls glitter striding glorious and coatless in the rain
  Dm                               F 
 I remember falling through these streets
                 Am
 Somewhat out of place, if not for the drunkenness
 
 [PRE CHORUS]
               Dm                     F 
 It makes my chest hurt to think of it
  F       Am
 Not of regret, but of missing that

 [CHORUS]
              Dm 
 Cheerful oblivion
      F      Am C 
 Cheerful oblivion
 
 [VERSE TWO]
                  Dm                     F
 It was not all pain and pavements slick with rain
                     Am                          C 
 And shining under lights from shitty clubs and doing shitty drugs
               Dm                                   F      Am C
 And hugging girls that smelt like Britney Spears and coconuts

 [VERSE THREE]
                   Dm                   F
 And with your mermaid hair and your teeth so sharp
        Am                                  C 
 You crawled from the sea to break that sailor's heart
           Dm                        F
 You only get one night upon the shore
       Am                            C
 So dance like you've never danced before

            Dm                            F 
 And the dance floor is filling up with blood
            Am                          C
 But, oh, Lord, you've never been so in love

 [CHORUS]
  Dm     F     Am C
 Cheerful oblivion
             Dm F
 Cheerful oblivion
           Am  C
 Cheerful oblivion
 
 [BRIDGE]
             Bb
 And the mermaids, they come once a year
       C 
 They climb the struts of Brighton Pier
       Dm 
 They come to drink, they come to dance
       Am
 To sacrifice a human heart

           Bb                                C 
 And the world is so much wilder than you think
      Dm 
 You haven't seen nothing till you seen an English girl drink
 
 [CHORUS]
  Dm     F     Am C
 Cheerful oblivion
             Dm F
 Cheerful oblivion
           Am  C
 Cheerful oblivion

 Cheerful oblivion

 Cheerful oblivion
