[Intro]
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
[Strophe]
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-Refrain]
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
[Refrain]
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
[Pont]
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]
