[Verse I]
F#5 F#5/D# F#5
I am still living with your ghost
F#5/D# F#5 F#5/D# F#5
Lonely and dreaming of the west coast
F#5/D# C#5 D#5 B5
I don't want to be your downtime
B5 C#5 F#5
I don't want to be your stupid game
[Verse II]
F#5 F#5/D# F#5
With my big black boots and an old suitcase
F#5/D# F#5 F#5/D# F#5
I do believe I'll find myself a new place
F#5/D# C#5 D#5 B5
I don't want to be the bad guy
B5 C#5 F#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]
B5
We can live beside the ocean
B5 C#5 F#5
Leave the fire behind
F#5 D#5 C#5
Swim out past the breakers
C#5 B5 F#5
Watch the world die
[Verse III]
F#5 F#5/D# F#5
I am still dreaming of your face
F#5/D# F#5 F#5/D# F#5
Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away
F#5/D# C#5 D#5 B5
I don't want to be your good time
B5 C#5 F#5
I don't want to be your fall-back crutch anymore
[Verse IV]
F#5 F#5/D# F#5
I'll walk right out into a brand new day
F#5/D# F#5 F#5/D# F#5
Insane and rising in my own weird way
F#5/D# C#5 D#5 B5
I don't want to be the bad guy
B5 C#5 F#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]
B5
We can live beside the ocean
B5 C#5 F#5
Leave the fire behind
F#5 D#5 C#5
Swim out past the breakers
C#5 B5 F#5
Watch the world die
