Verse
F
And I'll jump in the sea
Am
Wearing all of my clothes
A#
And I'll swim out from this red patch
Dm C
To the pier and its old bones
F
And the tide will sweep me out
Am
And I'll swim back to land
A#
And I'll walk through this old valley
Dm C
And I'll smile as I stand
[Chorus]
F
We could stay here, and sing songs for better days
Am
We could stay here, and we won't fade away
A#
How could you ever deny it?
A#m
The golden age of not even trying
[Verse 2]
F
And I miss the old man
Am
Who played harmonica on the street
A#
Oh, He played it with such character
Dm C
These days that's rare to see
F
And It's rare to be an artist
Am
And it's rare that we have a cause
A#
And It's rare to stand by anything we say
Dm C
These days, we are all whores
[Chorus]
F
We could stay here, and sing songs for better days
Am
We could stay here, and we won't fade away
A#
How could you ever deny it?
A#m
The golden age of not even trying
[Bridge]
F
There's a head in the water
Am
There's someone at sea
Bm
I shouldn't waste my time personifying
A#m
These damned waves, as they are trying
F Am
Oh, it's our golden age
B A#m
Oh, it's our golden age
[Chorus]
F
We could stay here, and sing songs for better days
Am
We could stay here, and we won't fade away
A#
How could you ever deny it?
A#m
The golden age of not even trying
[Verse 4]
F
There's a head in the water
Am
There is someone at sea
Oh, there is someone
A#
Oh, there is someone!
A#m
Yeah, there is someone!
[Chorus]
F
We could stay here, and sing songs for better days
Am
We could stay here, and we won't fade away- oh!
A#
(How could you ever deny it?)
I don't know!
A#m
The golden age of not even trying
