Same basic strumming technique throughout the rest of the song.
[Verse I]
E5 E5/C# E5
I am still living with your ghost
E5/C# E5 E5/C# E5
Lonely and dreaming of the west coast
E5/C# B5 C#5 A5
I don't want to be your downtime
A5 B5 E5
I don't want to be your stupid game
[Verse II]
E5 E5/C# E5
With my big black boots and an old suitcase
E5/C# E5 E5/C# E5
I do believe I'll find myself a new place
E5/C# B5 C#5 A5
I don't want to be the bad guy
A5 B5 E5
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]
A5
We can live beside the ocean
A5 B5 E5
Leave the fire behind
E5 C#5 B5
Swim out past the breakers
B5 A5 E5
Watch the world die
[Verse III]
E5 E5/C# E5
I am still dreaming of your face
E5/C# E5 E5/C# E5
Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away
E5/C# B5 C#5 A5
I don't want to be your good time
A5 B5 E5
I don't want to be your fall-back crutch anymore
[Verse IV]
E5 E5/C# E5
I'll walk right out into a brand new day
E5/C# E5 E5/C# E5
Insane and rising in my own weird way
E5/C# B5 C#5 A5
I don't want to be the bad guy
A5 B5 E5
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]
A5
We can live beside the ocean
A5 B5 E5
Leave the fire behind
E5 C#5 B5
Swim out past the breakers
B5 A5 E5
Watch the world die
