Chorus:
Am Em
When I was older
F Em Am
I was a sailor on an open sea
Em
But now I’m underwater
F Em
And my skin is paler than it should ever be
Am
Hmm
Em
I’m on my back again
Em
Dreaming of a time and place
F
Where you and I remain the best of friends
Em
Even after all this ends
Am
Can we pretend?
Em
I’m on my, I’m on my back again
Em
It’s seeming more and more
F
Like all we ever Do is see how far it bends
Em
Before it breaks in half and then
Em
We bend it back again
Am
Guess I got caught in the middle of it
Am
Yes I’ve been taught, got a little of it
Em
In my blood, in my blood
F
Memories burn like a forest fire
Em
Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to mud
Em
In the flood
Chorus:
Am Em
When I was older
F Em Am
I was a sailor on an open sea
Em
But now I’m underwater
F Em Am
And my skin is paler than it should ever be
Am
I’m watching movies back to back in black and white, I never
Am
Seen anybody Do it like I Do it any better
Em
I’m goin’ over you, I’m overdue for new endeavors
Em
Nobody lonely like I’m lonely and I don’t know whether
F
You’d really like it in the limelight
F
You’d sympathize with all the bad guys
Em
I’m still a victim in my own right
Em
But I’m the villain in my own eyes, yeah
Outro:
Am Em
When I was older
F Em
I was a sailor on an open sea
