[Verse 1]
A#m Fsus4 A#m Fsus4
Well I got here by boat and I don't intend to stay
A#m Fsus4 A#m Fsus4
The town clerk's black coat is already turning grey

I look out
C# C#maj7

and I doubt
A#m Fsus4 A#m Fsus4
I've been here one day and already things feel cruel
A#m Fsus4 A#m Fsus4
An old lady's cursing at somebody next to you
C# A#
I look out and I shout
[Chorus]
A#m Fsus4 A#m Fsus4
Well I'm shimmering in gold, shimmering in view
C# C#maj7 C# C#maj7
I used to dream in colors, now I dream in blues

I look out, this town felt so gold from the shores
D# A#m C# G#
I look out and I don't want to see any more

A#m Fsus4 A#m Fsus4
The people are trained in hate, sending guns to kill

I look out
C# C#maj7

and I cry
A#m Fsus4 A#m Fsus4
And trees are falling at no man's expense

Greed, jealousy, a body up for rent

I look out
C# C#maj7
A#
and I shout
[Chorus]
A#m Fsus4 A#m Fsus4
Well I'm shimmering in gold, shimmering in view

A#m Fsus4 A#m Fsus4
An empathy forgotten with no man's grace

I look out
C# C#maj7
Fm
and I die
A#m Fsus4 A#m Fsus4
Words are bombs, bombs are words

I miss the oblivion of being a young girl

I look out,
C# C#maj
A#
I shout
[Chorus]

Well I'm shimmering in gold, shimmering in view
