AmE7FE7
When I was older, I was a sailor, on an open sea
AmE7FE7
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
F
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
F
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
F
Memories burn like a forest fire
E7
Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to mud, in the flood
ChorusAmE7FE7
When I was older, I was a sailor, on an open sea
AmE7FE7
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
F
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
