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