TEARS FOR FEARS: "FISH OUT OF WATER"
(Roland Orzabal / Alan Griffiths)
from the album Elemental


Intro:
--------

       
        
/         /
             
D             / / / / / /   Bm  Em
D             / / / / / /   Bm  Em


Verse One:
----------------
                                                                  
       
You always said you were the compassionate one
                                                                     
         
          But now you're laughing at the sun
                                                                
              
          With all your high class friends you think you've got it made
                                                     
          The only thing you made was that tanned look on your face
                         
          With all your cigarettes and fancy cars
                    
          You ain't a clue who or what you are


Chorus:
------------

                      
You're dreaming your life away
                               /         /
                          Fish out of water
                           
                                     Go swim in the tide today
                                /        /
                          Fish out of water
                 


Verse Two (as verse one):
--------------------------------------
We used to sit and talk about primsl scream
To exorcise our past was our adolescent dream
But now it's sink or swim since your memory fails
Now in Neptune's kitchen you will be food for killer whales
And on the crucifix his mother made
Hangs one more martyr to the hit parade


(Chorus -- Repeat)


Instrumental:
--------------------
                             
                             


(Chorus -- Repeat)


Ending:
-----------
                                   
                  You're dreaming
/           /
