[Verse I]
D#5 D#5/C D#5
I am still living with your ghost
D#5/C D#5 D#5/C D#5
Lonely and dreaming of the west coast
D#5/C A#5 C5 G#5
I don't want to be your downtime
G#5 A#5 D#5
I don't want to be your stupid game
[Verse II]
D#5 D#5/C D#5
With my big black boots and an old suitcase
D#5/C D#5 D#5/C D#5
I do believe I'll find myself a new place
D#5/C A#5 C5 G#5
I don't want to be the bad guy
G#5 A#5 D#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]
G#5
We can live beside the ocean
G#5 A#5 D#5
Leave the fire behind
D#5 C5 A#5
Swim out past the breakers
A#5 G#5 D#5
Watch the world die
[Verse III]
D#5 D#5/C D#5
I am still dreaming of your face
D#5/C D#5 D#5/C D#5
Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away
D#5/C A#5 C5 G#5
I don't want to be your good time
G#5 A#5 D#5
I don't want to be your fall-back crutch anymore
[Verse IV]
D#5 D#5/C D#5
I'll walk right out into a brand new day
D#5/C D#5 D#5/C D#5
Insane and rising in my own weird way
D#5/C A#5 C5 G#5
I don't want to be the bad guy
G#5 A#5 D#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]
G#5
We can live beside the ocean
G#5 A#5 D#5
Leave the fire behind
D#5 C5 A#5
Swim out past the breakers
A#5 G#5 D#5
Watch the world die
