A   D
Ooo

[Verse 1]
  A
A yellowish orange, a janky stick shift
D
Gasoline burning, ceiling lifted

A
Ooo
       D
Alligator

A
Jesus Christ glued onto the dashboard
D
Photograph cutout taped to cardboard

A
Ooo
       D
Alligator

  A
A mattress that loves in shades of off white
D
Cigarette burns left to slowly die

A
Ooo
       D
Alligator

[Chorus]
        A
And the sea smell has come through the vent
D
Hiding from the beams underneath the blinders
A
Chill on the back of your neck
     D                                                   A     D
Went up until you knew you couldn't get any higher alligator
    A       D
Alligator

[Verse 2]
A
Macho man staring, boots and knee pads
D
Flexing both arms in a yellow head band

A
Ooo
       D
Alligator

    A
The 95 strap with bolts of lightning
D
Drip scribbly lines in a slimy sea green

A
Ooo
       D
Alligator

A
Caught between dreams awake and sleeping
D
Eyelids have shut and getting heavy

A
Ooo
       D
Alligator

[Chorus]
        A
And the sea smell has come through the vent
D
Hiding from the beams underneath the blinders
A
Chill on the back of your neck
     D                                                   A     D
Went up until you knew you couldn't get any higher alligator
      D
Alligator yeah yeah
      A
Alligator
      D
Alligator yeah yeah

[Outro]
          A                     D
Cause you don't know what could happen

What could happen no
        A                     D
But you don't know what could happen

What could happen no
        A                     D
But you don't know what could happen

What could happen no
        A
But you don't know
        D
But you don't know
    A
Alligator
    D
Alligator
    A       D
