Same basic strumming technique throughout the rest of the song.
[Verse I]
A5 A5/F# A5
I am still living with your ghost
A5/F# A5 A5/F# A5
Lonely and dreaming of the west coast
A5/F# E5 F#5 D5
I don't want to be your downtime
D5 E5 A5
I don't want to be your stupid game
[Verse II]
A5 A5/F# A5
With my big black boots and an old suitcase
A5/F# A5 A5/F# A5
I do believe I'll find myself a new place
A5/F# E5 F#5 D5
I don't want to be the bad guy
D5 E5 A5
I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to see some palm trees
Go and try to shake away this disease
[Chorus]
D5
We can live beside the ocean
D5 E5 A5
Leave the fire behind
A5 F#5 E5
Swim out past the breakers
E5 D5 A5
Watch the world die
[Verse III]
A5 A5/F# A5
I am still dreaming of your face
A5/F# A5 A5/F# A5
Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away
A5/F# E5 F#5 D5
I don't want to be your good time
D5 E5 A5
I don't want to be your fall-back crutch anymore
[Verse IV]
A5 A5/F# A5
I'll walk right out into a brand new day
A5/F# A5 A5/F# A5
Insane and rising in my own weird way
A5/F# E5 F#5 D5
I don't want to be the bad guy
D5 E5 A5
I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to feel some sunshine
I just want to find some place to be alone
[Chorus]
D5
We can live beside the ocean
D5 E5 A5
Leave the fire behind
A5 F#5 E5
Swim out past the breakers
E5 D5 A5
Watch the world die
