[Verse I]
D5 D5/B D5
I am still living with your ghost
D5/B D5 D5/B D5
Lonely and dreaming of the west coast
D5/B A5 B5 G5
I don't want to be your downtime
G5 A5 D5
I don't want to be your stupid game
[Verse II]
D5 D5/B D5
With my big black boots and an old suitcase
D5/B D5 D5/B D5
I do believe I'll find myself a new place
D5/B A5 B5 G5
I don't want to be the bad guy
G5 A5 D5
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]
G5
We can live beside the ocean
G5 A5 D5
Leave the fire behind
D5 B5 A5
Swim out past the breakers
A5 G5 D5
Watch the world die
[Verse III]
D5 D5/B D5
I am still dreaming of your face
D5/B D5 D5/B D5
Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away
D5/B A5 B5 G5
I don't want to be your good time
G5 A5 D5
I don't want to be your fall-back crutch anymore
[Verse IV]
D5 D5/B D5
I'll walk right out into a brand new day
D5/B D5 D5/B D5
Insane and rising in my own weird way
D5/B A5 B5 G5
I don't want to be the bad guy
G5 A5 D5
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]
G5
We can live beside the ocean
G5 A5 D5
Leave the fire behind
D5 B5 A5
Swim out past the breakers
A5 G5 D5
Watch the world die
