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