C                                  G6
When I chip through your candy coating
C                   D     G
You're stuffed with insulation
C                              G6
Just strawberry ice cream floating
C                 D     G
With a sprinkle indignation
C                           G6
Cherry under knot of shoestring
C           D     G
Conflating agitate

          F   Am   G
You're a plimsoll punk
          F   Am   G
You're a plimsoll punk

Chorus:
C                            Fmaj7                   Am         G
And you're getting me down, getting me down, you're getting me down
C                 Fmaj7              Am         G
Getting me down, down, down, you're getting me down
C                 Fmaj7            Am         G
Getting me down, getting me down, getting me down
  F       G
Plimsoll punk

G               G/F              Em           C
Your posture's blocking out any possible light
G            G/F Em C
I can hardly see
G          G/F            Em          C
This conversation spirals into a fight
G            G/F    Em C
I can barely breathe

Who ran from Roman candles
Underneath a willow weeping?
Do the tealights on your mantel
Illuminate that summer feeling?
You're the seashell in my sandal
That's slicing up my heel

You're a plimsoll punk
You're a plimsoll punk

Chorus:
And you're getting me down, gettin' me down, gettin' me down
Gettin' me down down, down you're gettin' me down
R-r-r-racking my brain, trying to escape, getting me down
Plimsoll punk
Plimsoll punk

Your posture's blocking out any possible light
I can no longer see
This conversation spirals into a fight
I can barely breathe

Chorus:
Gettin' me down, gettin' me down, you're gettin' me down
Gettin' me down down down, you're gettin' me down
Gettin' me down, gettin' me down, you're gettin' me down
Plimsoll punk
Plimsoll punk

Plimsoll punks
