[Bm][A][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]Up to my ears in bitter tea[A]rs
Can't believe I've [Bm]sunk this low
As I walk [A]the plankton inner sanctum
[D]Got outta Dodge, sailed on a bon[A]-less
Bon voyage
You said [Bm]North, I headed South
Tossed overboard
[A]Good Lord, that's a really large mouth

[Chorus 1]
[Bm]I'm slee[A]ping with fishes h[G]ere
[A]In the belly of the [Bm]whale
I'm [A]highly nutri[G]tious here
[A]In the belly of the [Bm]whale
Bad [A]food, lousy at[G]mosphere
[A]I don't want a bellya[Bm]che
How [A]long is this [G]gonna take?

[Verse 2]
[D]Woke up this morning kinda blu[A]e
Thinking through that [Bm]age-old question:
[A]How to exit a whale's diges[D]tion
It might behoove me to be [A]heaved
Head out like a [Bm]human comet
(Guys, you migh not want to rhyme

[Chorus 2]
with commet)
[Bm]I'm slee[A]ping with fishes h[G]ere
[A]In the belly of the [Bm]whale
I'm [A]highly nutri[G]tious here
[A]In the belly of the [Bm]whale
I'm [A]ready to re[G]appear
[A]I don't want a bellya[Bm]che
Lord, [A]how long's this [G]gonna take?
[C]

[Bridge 1]
End times, they come [G]rolling a[D]round
[A]Enzymes, they come
[G]breaking us [D]down to the [A]core
The good Lord grants
we [G]all get a [D]second chance

[Chorus 3]
[Bm]I'm one [A]of the dishes [G]here
[A]In the belly of the [Bm]whale
They [A]say I'm deli[G]cious here
[A]In the belly of the [Bm]whale
Lord, [A]please make him chuck [G]it all
[A]It's a gut call

[Interlude 1]
[Bm]In the b[A]elly of the wh[G]ale
I'm [A]in the belly of the...
[Bm]In the b[A]elly of the wh[G]ale
I'm [A]in the belly
[Bm]In the b[A]elly of the wh[G]ale
I'm [A]in the belly of the...
[Bm]In the b[A]elly of the wh[G]ale
I'm [A]in the belly

[Verse 3]
In the [Bm]belly of the whale
In an [A]underwater jail
It's a [G]tight squeeze.
It's a-gettin' to [A]me
But it's roomier [Bm]than the tail
Hey, sailor, got [A]my flow free
Like a [G]salmon to the sea
From the L. [A]A. Symphony
I'm a [Bm]paddleboat paddlin' in their wake
A [A]fake free-styler
But my [G]unemployment pays
I'm avoid[A]ing cliches
Like [Bm]"whale of a tale" stale
Or "you [A]can't keep a good man [G]down,"
Cause you can
And I've [A]been there, man
But I've [Bm]been expectorated
I'm ela[A]ted, I'm free like [G]Willie!
Happy Day! Oops
That's [A]a bit of a cliche

[Outro 1]
[Bm]In the b[A]elly of the wh[G]ale
(In the [A]belly)
[Bm]In the b[A]elly of the wh[G]ale
(In the belly, [A]in the belly of the whale)
[Repeat and fade]
