[Verse 1]
C#m G#sus4 C#m G#sus4
Well I got here by boat and I don't intend to stay
C#m G#sus4 C#m G#sus4
The town clerk's black coat is already turning grey
E Emaj7
I look out
E Emaj7
G#m
and I doubt
C#m G#sus4 C#m G#sus4
I've been here one day and already things feel cruel
C#m G#sus4 C#m G#sus4
An old lady's cursing at somebody next to you
E C#
I look out and I shout
[Chorus]
C#m G#sus4 C#m G#sus4
Well I'm shimmering in gold, shimmering in view
E Emaj7 E Emaj7
I used to dream in colors, now I dream in blues
B F# C#m B
I look out, this town felt so gold from the shores
F# C#m E B
I look out and I don't want to see any more
[Verse 2]
C#m G#sus4 C#m G#sus4
The people are trained in hate, sending guns to kill
C#m G#sus4 C#m G#sus4
Already we're forgetting what we were put here to do

I look out
E Emaj7
G#m
and I cry
C#m G#sus4 C#m G#sus4
And trees are falling at no man's expense
C#m G#sus4 C#m G#sus4
Greed, jealousy, a body up for rent
E Emaj7
I look out
E Emaj7
C#
and I shout
[Chorus]

Well I'm shimmering in gold, shimmering in view

[Verse 3]
C#m G#sus4 C#m G#sus4
An empathy forgotten with no man's grace
C#m G#sus4 C#m G#sus4
I can't recall the last time I saw a true face
E Emaj7
I look out
E Emaj7
G#m
and I die
C#m G#sus4 C#m G#sus4
Words are bombs, bombs are words
C#m G#sus4 C#m G#sus4
I miss the oblivion of being a young girl
E Emaj7
I look out,
E Emaj
C#
I shout
[Chorus]
