With my big black boots and an old suitcase

I do believe I'll find myself a new place
F5/D C5 D5 A#5
I don't want to be the bad guy

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]
A#5
We can live beside the ocean

Leave the fire behind

Swim out past the breakers

Watch the world die

I just want to feel some sunshine
I just want to find some place to be alone

We can live beside the ocean
A#5 C5 F5
Leave the fire behind
F5 D5 C5
Swim out past the breakers
C5 A#5 F5
Watch the world die
