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