[A] [Bm] [F#]
[G]
[F#]
[Bm] When I [F#] was older I was [G] a sailor on an [F#] open sea
[Bm] But now I'm [F#]
underwater and my skin [G] is paler than it should [F#] ever be
[Bm]
I'm on my back [F#m] again, dreaming of a kind of place
Where you [Bm] and I remain the best of friends, even after all this ends
Can we pretend I'm not there?
I'm on my back [F#] again
It's seeming we're more like all we [Bm] ever knew
We see how far it bends, before it breaks in half
[F#] [F#m] We bend [Bm] it back again
[F#] Guess [B] [Bm] I got caught in the middle of it
Yes I've been caught, got a little of it [F#] in my blood
[G] Memories burn like a forest fire
Heavy rain turns and if you know, party [F#] time
In the flood
[Bm] When I [F#]
was older I [Bm] was a sailor on an open sea
[F#]
[Bm] But now I'm underwater [F#] and my skin [Bm] is paler than it should ever [F#] be
[Bm] I'm watching movies back to back and back and back and back
I've never seen anybody [F#] do it like I do it
And I get it, I'm going over you, I'm overdue for new endeavors
Nobody's looking like I'm only in a blue [G] moon river
You're dreaded, you're located in the limelight
It's a bad place with all the bad guys
[F#] I'm still ever doing my own right
But I'm living in my own life, [Bm] yeah
When [F#] I was older I was [G] a sailor on an open [F#] sea
[G]
[F#]
[Bm] When I [F#] was older I was [G] a sailor on an [F#] open sea
[Bm] But now I'm [F#]
underwater and my skin [G] is paler than it should [F#] ever be
[Bm]
I'm on my back [F#m] again, dreaming of a kind of place
Where you [Bm] and I remain the best of friends, even after all this ends
Can we pretend I'm not there?
I'm on my back [F#] again
It's seeming we're more like all we [Bm] ever knew
