Intro
D F#m x 2
[Verse]
D
I had a sugar-coated childhood
F#m
The stars were in my soul
D
But given the opportunity
F#m
I’d start over and change it all
D
Beatlemania made my mother
F#m
Think the way she does
D
She always said
F#m D
"Don’t waste your life wishing everything was how it was"
F#m D F#m
Paul is alive
D F#m
I was in a moment for a moment
Then I wasn’t
D
I was sixteen years old in a dead guy’s boots
F#m
With my hair slicked to the side
D
Sitting outside the Jockey Club
F#m
Crying in my 7-up
D
I could hear Husker Du and The Smiths
F#m D
The Sluggos, The Cramps go bup bup bup bup inside
F#m D F#m
Paul is alive
[Chorus 1]

Nobody stays above
D F#m
Out in the waves of love
D F#m
Nobody stays above
D
Out in the waves of love
E
Inside the Jockey Club
F#
I’m even
[Verse]
F#m E6
I’ve never been this far up the river

And I don’t want to go

Nobody makes you beg to be different

And there’s Foster's on the floor
[Solo]

If I go

Will I find
B
There’s a waiting line?
Bm F#m
Maybe I should take my time
E B
‘Cause I never heard of anybody coming back
[Chorus 2]

Nobody stays above

Out in the waves of love
D F#m
Nobody stays above

Out in the waves of love

I’m even with heaven

I’ve never been this far up the river

And I don’t want to go

And there’s F#moster's on the floor
