Bm F#
When I was older
F# G
I was a sailor
G F#
On an open sea
Bm F#
But now I'm underwater
F# G
And my skin is paler
G F#
Than it should ever be
Bm F#
I'm on my back again
F# G
Dreaming of a time and place
F# Bm
Where you and I remain the best of friends
F# G
Even after all this ends
G F#

Bm
I'm on my
Bm F#
I'm on my back again
F#
It's seeming more and more
G
Like all we ever do is see
G F#
How far it bends
Bm F#
Before it breaks in half and then
G F#
We bend it back again
Bm F#
Guess I got caught in the middle of it
F#
Yes, I've been taught, got a little of it
G F#

Seen anybody do it like I do it any better

Then going over you
F# G F#
I'm overdue for no endeavors
Bm F#
Nobody lonely like I'm lonely
F# G
And I don't know whether
G F#
You'd really like it in the limelight
Bm F#
You'd sympathize with all the bad guys
F# G
I'm still a victim in my own right
G F#
But I'm the villain in my own eyes, yeah
Bm F#
When I was older
F# G
I was a sailor
G F#
On an open sea
