Key: D
Introduction:
D
Walking back to my house the morning after the sugar cube and the
D
Heavens opened up and drowned the heat.
D
With the trace elements tickling my spine,
G
I took my shoes off and danced in puddles
D
on the sudden downpour ghost town street.
D
Hello, my name is Wil and I slept through the millennium
G
But what I wouldn't give to be young, dreaming and ten again.
Bm A4 A
It's New Years 2009, with what's in my system I won't be sleeping for a long time.
D
And when I was a boy, I thought I was a fish and
G
I still love the ocean like when I was a kid,
Bm A4 A
But lately I have come to the conclusion, that I'm disappointingly probably human.
D
And I've come a long way from those amphibious days and
G
I'd like to thank the things I've seen, the friends that I've made,
Bm
All the people that have hurt me, the times that I've been saved and to
A4 A

D

A4 A

G A
And told each other one day, we'd all look back and smile,
Asus4A
While knowing that we've been drinking ourselves to sleep for a long time.
G A
And now we're back at work and we're working on those numbers.
G A
They're getting us in our sleep, we're having nightmares in our slumber,
G A
About the dealers and the overheads we're going to have to pay.
D D/C# Bm A4 G A
Just pass out, pass out, pass out, pass out.
D
It's a job for another day.
