Chorus:
Dm A
When I was older
Dm
I was a sailor
Bb A
On an open sea
Dm A
But now I'm underwater
Dm
And my skin is paler
Bb A
Than it should ever be
Dm Dm
Mhm
Verse:
A
I'm on my back again
Dreaming of a time and place
Dm
Where you and I remain the best of friends
A
Even after all this ends
A
Can we pretend?
Dm
I'm on my—
A
I'm on my back again
It's seeming more and more
Dm
Like all we ever do is see
How far it bends

Bb A
In my blood, in my blood

Dm A F A Bb
Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to mud
A

Chorus:
Dm A
When I was older
Dm
I was a sailor
Bb A
On an open sea
Dm A
But now I'm underwater
Dm
And my skin is paler
Bb A
Than it should ever be
Bridge:
Dm
I'm watching movies back to back
In black and white, I never
Dm
Seen anybody do it like I do it any better
A
Then going over you, I'm overdue for no endeavors
A
Nobody lonely like I'm lonely and I don't know whether
Dm
You'd really like it in the limelight
Dm
You'd sympathize with all the bad guys
A
I'm still a victim in my own right
A Dm
But I'm the villain in my own eyes, yeah
Outro:
A
When I was older
Dm
I was a sailor
Bb A
On an open sea
