[verse]
F       Bb
Calling octopus.
   Db        Bb
Misdirection octopus.
F      Bb
I need octopus
Db               C
To get me out of this.


[verse]
F       Bb
Save me octopus
   Db     Bb
Confusion octopus
F        Bb
Help me, octopus
    Db            C     F
And get me out of here. Please.


[chorus]
F                                       Bb
I don’t want to be the one to break the news
C7                                    F
I don’t want to be the one to let you know
F                                           Bb
Any which way I choose looks like I’m gonna lose
      C7                                   Am
We’re never gonna get anywhere if we don’t start
   D7  Bb                     Bbm               F
Oh no, I don’t want to be the one to break your heart.

And get me out of this.
