[Verse 1]
Em Bsus4 Em Bsus4
Well I got here by boat and I don't intend to stay

The town clerk's black coat is already turning grey
G Gmaj7
I look out
G Gmaj7
Bm
and I doubt
Em Bsus4 Em Bsus4
I've been here one day and already things feel cruel
Em Bsus4 Em Bsus4
An old lady's cursing at somebody next to you
G E
I look out and I shout
[Chorus]
Em Bsus4 Em Bsus4
Well I'm shimmering in gold, shimmering in view
G Gmaj7 G Gmaj7
I used to dream in colors, now I dream in blues
D A Em D
I look out, this town felt so gold from the shores
A Em G D
I look out and I don't want to see any more
[Verse 2]
Em Bsus4 Em Bsus4
The people are trained in hate, sending guns to kill
Em Bsus4 Em Bsus4
Already we're forgetting what we were put here to do
G Gmaj7
I look out
G Gmaj7
Bm
and I cry
Em Bsus4 Em Bsus4
And trees are falling at no man's expense
Em Bsus4 Em Bsus4
Greed, jealousy, a body up for rent
G Gmaj7
I look out
G Gmaj7
E
and I shout
[Chorus]

Em Bsus4 Em Bsus4
An empathy forgotten with no man's grace
Em Bsus4 Em Bsus4
I can't recall the last time I saw a true face
G Gmaj7
I look out
G Gmaj7
Bm
and I die
Em Bsus4 Em Bsus4
Words are bombs, bombs are words
Em Bsus4 Em Bsus4
I miss the oblivion of being a young girl
G Gmaj7
I look out,
G Gmaj
E
I shout
[Chorus]
