[Gm] [Fm] [Em]
[F] [Em] [Em]
[Fm] [E] I'm sailing on the beach with a gun in my hand
Staring at the sky, staring at the sand
Staring down the barrel of the arrow
On the sea is overmelt, [Fm] but I hear no [E] sound
I'm alive,
[A] dead, [E] I'm a stranger
Here they are in an arrow
I [Fm] [Em] can turn and walk away or I can fire the gun
Staring at the sky, staring at the [E] sun
Whichever I choose it amounts to the same
[F] [E] I'm alive, dead, I'm a stranger
Here they are in an arrow
[F] [Em]
[E] [Em]
[E] [F] [A]
[E]
[F] [Em] I feel a silver chunk, within my hand
Staring at the sea, staring at the [E] sand
Staring down myself reflected in the eye
I'm a dead man on the beach, [F] dead man on [E] the beach
I'm alive,
[A] dead, [E] [E] I'm a stranger
Here they are in an arrow
