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

These damned waves, as they are trying
B D#m
Oh, it's our golden age
F Fbm
Oh, it's our golden age
[Chorus]
B
We could stay here, and sing songs for better days
