[Chorus]
Dm A [tab] 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 againDreaming 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 seeHow far it bends
A
Before it breaks in half and thenWe bend it back again
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm A F A Guess I got caught in the middle of it Dm A F A Yes I've been taught, got a little of it Bb A In my blood, in my blood Dm A F A Memories burn like a forest fire Dm A F A Bb Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to mud A In the flood
[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 backIn 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
