[Verse 1]
F#m C#sus4 F#m C#sus4
Well I got here by boat and I don't intend to stay
F#m C#sus4 F#m C#sus4
The town clerk's black coat is already turning grey
A Amaj7
I look out
A Amaj7
C#m
and I doubt
F#m C#sus4 F#m C#sus4
I've been here one day and already things feel cruel
F#m C#sus4 F#m C#sus4
An old lady's cursing at somebody next to you
A F#
I look out and I shout
[Chorus]
F#m C#sus4 F#m C#sus4
Well I'm shimmering in gold, shimmering in view
A Amaj7 A Amaj7
I used to dream in colors, now I dream in blues

I look out, this town felt so gold from the shores
B F#m A E
I look out and I don't want to see any more
[Verse 2]
F#m C#sus4 F#m C#sus4
The people are trained in hate, sending guns to kill
F#m C#sus4 F#m C#sus4
Already we're forgetting what we were put here to do

I look out
A Amaj7
C#m
and I cry
F#m C#sus4 F#m C#sus4
And trees are falling at no man's expense

Greed, jealousy, a body up for rent

I look out
A Amaj7

and I shout
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
F#m C#sus4 F#m C#sus4
An empathy forgotten with no man's grace

I can't recall the last time I saw a true face
A Amaj7
I look out
A Amaj7
C#m
and I die
F#m C#sus4 F#m C#sus4
Words are bombs, bombs are words

I miss the oblivion of being a young girl
A Amaj7
I look out,
A Amaj
F#
I shout
[Chorus]
