Am             E7             Fmaj7              E7
   When I was older, I was a sailor, on an open sea

Am                   E7                    Fmaj7                      E7
   But now I'm underwater, and my skin is paler, than it should ever be

     Am
Mmm-hmmm

[Verse 1]

Am                 E7
   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?

Am                            E7
   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-Chorus]

Am
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

[Chorus]

Am             E7             Fmaj7              E7
   When I was older, I was a sailor, on an open sea

Am                   E7                    Fmaj7                      E7
   But now I'm underwater, and my skin is paler, than it should ever be

[Bridge]

Am
   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 [Outro]

Am             E7             Fmaj7              E7
   When I was older, I was a sailor, on an open sea
