Intro:
Am E7 Fmaj7 E7

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
   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
