   D        D/A
He made his way
    D          D/A
and hoped someday
     D         D/A   D
he'd find someone to love.
   D      D/A
He sees a girl
    D       D/A
Her tail is curled
   D     D/A       D
He swims across to her.

           A#maj7       C
But he's a seahorse, of course
          D
Surely he knows
               A#maj7      C
When you're a seahorse, of course
              D
That's how it goes.


     D          D/A
They meet, they mate
    D           D/A
and things, are great
    D    D/A   D
But only for a while.
   D        D/A
He wakes at dawn
   D          D/A
He sees she's gone
    D         D/A     D
Somehow, he's not surprised.

[Verse]
             A#maj7       C
Cause he's a seahorse, of course
          D
Surely he knows.
              A#maj7       C
When you're a seahorse, of course
              D
That's how it goes.

        G                     D
But the waves above go up and down
    Em7             D
The big fish circle all around.
     G                 D
It's hard and cold and dark and mean
    F            G
And he’s so very small


 D      D/A
Alone, afraid,
    D       D/A
His plans unmade,
   D          D/A   D
He helped his young survive.
   D         D/A
He makes his way
    D         D/A
And hopes someday
      D        D/A    D
He'll find someone to love.

           A#maj7       C
But he's a seahorse, of course
          D
Surely he knows
               A#maj7      C
When you're a seahorse, of course
              D
That's how it goes.
