Listen to the song to get a feel for the timing of the chord changes
Intro
D5 A5 G5 G5/F# A5 x2

Again, I'm talking to a lake, I'm standing on the rocks
Yer not the ocean,I'm better to watch
Britney invisible or the stranger in myself
than a wall of water just hitting the shelf
Chorus
D5 A5 G5 G5/F# A5
Yer not the ocean You're up to my toes
D5 A5 G5 G5/F# A5
Yer not the ocean You're not even close
G A D
Though you're so real and you've more youth everyday
and you can think and feel and get out of your own way
and though I'm nothing you are just a lake
made to take it and take and take and take
D5 A5 G5 G5/F# A5
Yer not the ocean I'm standing on my toes
Yer not the ocean You're not even close
Yer not the ocean You're up to my chin
Yer not the ocean You're not coming in

D A G G/F# A
Yer not the ocean You're up to my chin
Yer not the ocean You're not coming in

You're not coming in
You're not coming in
If you are looking for more Hip song tabs that you cant find, E-mail me at
and I send you what I can, but I mostly do just chords as I am a rythm guitarist.
World Container is one of the best Hip albums, not that any of them are bad, but I think
their best since Phantom Power and I will continue to post more tabs from it in the
weeks.
