When I was older, I was a sailor, on an open sea
AmE7Fmaj7E7
But now I'm underwater, and my skin is paler, than it should ever be
Am
Mmm-hmmm
Verse 1AmE7
I'm on my back again
Fmaj7
Dreaming of a time and place where you and I remain the best of friends
E7
Even after all this ends, can we pretend?
AmE7
I'm on my, I'm on my back again
Fmaj7
It's seeming more and more like all we ever do is see how far it bends
E7
Before it breaks in half and then, we bend it back again
Pre-ChorusAm
Guess I got caught in the middle of it
E7
Yes I've been taught, got a little of it in my blood, in my blood
Fmaj7
Memories burn like a forest fire
E7
Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to mud, in the flood
ChorusAmE7Fmaj7E7
When I was older, I was a sailor, on an open sea
AmE7Fmaj7E7
But now I'm underwater, and my skin is paler, than it should ever be
BridgeAm
I'm watching movies back to back in black and white, I never
Seen anybody do it like I do it any better
E7
Then going over you, I'm overdue for no endeavors
Nobody lonely like I'm lonely and I don't know whether
Fmaj7
You'd really like it in the limelight
You'd sympathize with all the bad guys
E7
I'm still a victim in my own right
But I'm the villain in my own eyes, yeah
