Intro: Bmadd9 F#7 Gmaj7 F#7 Chorus: Bmadd9 F#7 When I was older Gmaj7 I was a sailor F#7 On an open sea Bmadd9 F#7 But now I'm underwater Gmaj7 And my skin is paler F#7 Than it should ever be Bmadd9 Mhm
Verse: Bmadd9 F#7 I'm on my back again Dreaming of a time and place Gmaj7 Where you and I remain the best of friends F#7 Even after all this ends Can we pretend? Bmadd9 I'm on myβ€” F#7 I'm on my back again It's seeming more and more Gmaj7 Like all we ever do is see how far it bends F#7 Before it breaks in half and then We bend it back again Pre-Chorus: Bmadd9 Guess I got caught in the middle of it Yes I've been taught, got a little of it F#7 In my blood, in my blood Gmaj7 Memories burn like a forest fire F#7 Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to mud In the flood Chorus: Bmadd9 F#7 When I was older Gmaj7 I was a sailor F#7 On an open sea Bmadd9 F#7 But now I'm underwater Gmaj7 And my skin is paler F#7 Than it should ever be Bridge: Bmadd9 I'm watching movies back to back. In black and white, I never seen anybody do it like I do it any better F#7 Then going over you, I'm overdue for no endeavors Nobody lonely like I'm lonely and I don't know whether Gmaj7 You'd really like it in the limelight You'd sympathize with all the bad guys F#7 I'm still a victim in my own right But I'm the villain in my own eyes, yeah Outro: Bmadd9 F#7 When I was older Gmaj7 I was a sailor F#7 On an open sea
