Verse
C#
And I'll jump in the sea
Fm
Wearing all of my clothes
Gb
And I'll swim out from this red patch
A#m G#
To the pier and its old bones
C#
And the tide will sweep me out
Fm
And I'll swim back to land
Gb
And I'll walk through this old valley
A#m G#
And I'll smile as I stand
[Chorus]
C#
We could stay here, and sing songs for better days
Fm
We could stay here, and we won't fade away
Gb
How could you ever deny it?
Gbm
The golden age of not even trying
[Verse 2]
C#
And I miss the old man
Fm
Who played harmonica on the street
Gb
Oh, He played it with such character
A#m G#
These days that's rare to see
C#
And It's rare to be an artist
Fm
And it's rare that we have a cause
Gb
And It's rare to stand by anything we say
A#m G#
These days, we are all whores
[Chorus]
C#
We could stay here, and sing songs for better days
Fm
We could stay here, and we won't fade away
Gb
How could you ever deny it?
Gbm
The golden age of not even trying
[Bridge]

There's a head in the water

G Gbm
Oh, it's our golden age
