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