[Verse I]
G#5 G#5/F G#5
I am still living with your ghost
G#5/F G#5 G#5/F G#5
Lonely and dreaming of the west coast
G#5/F D#5 F5 C#5
I don't want to be your downtime
C#5 D#5 G#5
I don't want to be your stupid game
[Verse II]
G#5 G#5/F G#5
With my big black boots and an old suitcase
G#5/F G#5 G#5/F G#5
I do believe I'll find myself a new place
G#5/F D#5 F5 C#5
I don't want to be the bad guy
C#5 D#5 G#5
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]
C#5
We can live beside the ocean
C#5 D#5 G#5
Leave the fire behind
G#5 F5 D#5
Swim out past the breakers
D#5 C#5 G#5
Watch the world die
[Verse III]
G#5 G#5/F G#5
I am still dreaming of your face
G#5/F G#5 G#5/F G#5
Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away
G#5/F D#5 F5 C#5
I don't want to be your good time
C#5 D#5 G#5
I don't want to be your fall-back crutch anymore
[Verse IV]
G#5 G#5/F G#5
I'll walk right out into a brand new day
G#5/F G#5 G#5/F G#5
Insane and rising in my own weird way
G#5/F D#5 F5 C#5
I don't want to be the bad guy
C#5 D#5 G#5
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]
C#5
We can live beside the ocean
C#5 D#5 G#5
Leave the fire behind
G#5 F5 D#5
Swim out past the breakers
D#5 C#5 G#5
Watch the world die
