    Intro:  Verse riff x2

     

    Verse 1 (w/verse riff):

    What else should I be
    All apologies
    What else should I say
    Everyone is gay
    What else could I write
    I don't have the right
    What else should I be
    All apologies

    Chorus 1 (w/folk strum):

    G
    In the sun
    In the sun I feel as one
    In the sun
    In the sun

            A
    I'm married
    Buried

     

    Verse 2:

    I wish I was like you
    Easily amused
    Find my nest of salt
    Everything’s my fault
    I'll take all the blame
    Aqua seafoam shame
    Sunburn with freezeburn
    Choking on the ashes of an enemy

    Chorus 2 (w/folk strum):

    G
    In the sun
    In the sun I feel as one
    In the sun
    In the sun

            A
    I'm married
    Buried
    Married
    Buried,  Yeah yeah yeah yeah
