[Verse I]
C5 C5/A C5
I am still living with your ghost
C5/A C5 C5/A C5
Lonely and dreaming of the west coast
C5/A G5 A5 F5
I don't want to be your downtime
F5 G5 C5
I don't want to be your stupid game
[Verse II]
C5 C5/A C5
With my big black boots and an old suitcase
C5/A C5 C5/A C5
I do believe I'll find myself a new place
C5/A G5 A5 F5
I don't want to be the bad guy
F5 G5 C5
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]
F5
We can live beside the ocean
F5 G5 C5
Leave the fire behind
C5 A5 G5
Swim out past the breakers
G5 F5 C5
Watch the world die
[Verse III]
C5 C5/A C5
I am still dreaming of your face
C5/A C5 C5/A C5
Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away
C5/A G5 A5 F5
I don't want to be your good time
F5 G5 C5
I don't want to be your fall-back crutch anymore
[Verse IV]
C5 C5/A C5
I'll walk right out into a brand new day
C5/A C5 C5/A C5
Insane and rising in my own weird way
C5/A G5 A5 F5
I don't want to be the bad guy
F5 G5 C5
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]
F5
We can live beside the ocean
F5 G5 C5
Leave the fire behind
C5 A5 G5
Swim out past the breakers
G5 F5 C5
Watch the world die
