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