[E] [B] [A] [E]
[B] [E] [B]
[E] When your life [B] has all [E] been token
[B]
And [E] your stance [B] is akin [A] to breaking hearts
[E] You've grown weary, [F#m] I'm not [A] weary
I can take [E] your part, [A]
[E] it's eye [B]-open time
[A] [E] Sailor, [B]
[E] when they want you [Bm] to pretend
[A] You were inside that [E] playground
Now maybe you're [B] not so old [E] that I can't see
[A] You [E] [B]
[A] [E] see your old friends and it's fresh as dew
[B] But see [D#m] what's new [E] and it's all the same to you
[A] Now [E] I'm not choosy but I'm just [A] half-grown
I [E] took [B] the old man, [E] I gave [A] the old man
[E] I took [B] the old man [E] back home
[B] [E] [B] [A] [E]
[B] Safe with us [E] [B] to serenade, [A] [E]
[A] to hang around
[E] Your black [A] scarf and black waves, you have no idea, he said
[E] [A] No idea of what [E] I'll [B] do
[E] And [B] [A] [E]
[A] talking less, [E] [B] it chases home
[E]
[A] It chases dreams, but I have really no reason, no goal, and so
[E]
[A] If you wanna play real [E] basic
[C#m] If you wanna help [E] us make it
[B] Don't forget, you're [E] alone
Unless it's all [A] [E] alone
[A] [E] [A] Unless [E]
[A] it's [E] all alone
[A] You [E]
[A] [B] get preyed [A] upon
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yes
[B] I [E] need time [B] to [E] complicate [Bm] you
[A] To make [E] you hit [A] the things you might have done
[E] And come [Bm] out into [A] this morning, it's [E] the sun you want
Not that far in [A] time
[E]
And talking [B] less, [E] [B] it chases home
[E]
It [A] chases dreams, but I have really no reason, no goal, and so
[E] If [A] you wanna play real [E] basic
[A] If you wanna help us [E] make it
[B] Don't forget, [E] you're alone
Unless it's all [A] [E]
[A] [E] alone
[A] Unless [Em] [E]
[A] it's all [E] alone
[A] You [Em] [E]
[A] [Em] [B] get preyed [A] upon
[E] Whoa, whoa, whoa, [A] yes
