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