Atlantis — Noah Gundersen

Chords and lyrics for Atlantis by Noah Gundersen (key of G).

Intro

[D]

Verse 1

[D] If I was [A]Atlantis [Bm]and you were the[G] sea[A]
[D] I'd sneak up [A]behind you and [Bm]break your [G]knees[A]
[D] I'd cut off your [A]fingers and [Bm]both of your [G]feet[A]
[D] So you couldn't [A]reach me, but [Bm]you couldn't [G][A]leave[D]

Verse 2

[D] If I was a [A]painter, [Bm]if I was [G]brave[A]
[D] I'd hang up a [A]canvas and [Bm]give it a [G]name[A]
[D] I'd call it The [A]Future and [Bm]just leave it [G]blank[A]
[D] Get high off the [A]fumes and [Bm]die in the [G]paint[F#m]

Chorus

[G] It's [A]overdramatic, yeah, I [Bm]know
Somebody [F#m]cast me in a TV [G]show
Where I play an [A]addict, a drunken [Bm]romantic
Always [F#m]reaching for another [G]drink
But after a [A]season I'd get [Bm]replaced
By some [F#m]asshole with a bettеr [G]face
But I'll steal the [A]costumе on my way [Bm]out
And I'll [F#m]wear it when we go [G]dancing

Verse 3

[D] Wipe all the [F#m]makeup [Bm]off of your [G]face[A]
[D] We can turn off the [F#m]lights if it [Bm]makes you feel [G]safe[A]
[D] I learned about [F#m]love in [Bm]American [G]cars[A]
[D] A rusted-out [F#m]frame and a [Bm]lot of spare [G]parts[A]

Chorus 2

[G] But there in the [A]backseat, freezing [Bm]cold
Just [F#m]barely seventeen years [G]old
I saw the [A]dragon and I gave [Bm]chase
A perfect [F#m]example of a hopeless [G]case
And every [A]doctor that drew my [Bm]blood
Could find[F#m] no [G]explanation
Maybe it's a [A]virus, maybe it's [Bm]love
Or just my [F#m]imagination

Outro

[G] [A] [Bm] [F#m]
[G] [A] [Bm] [F#m]
[G]
[D] If I was [A]Atlantis and [Bm]you were the [G]sea[A]
[D] I'd sneak up [A]behind you and [Bm]set you [G]free
