Verse I -
				    G5     G5/E   G5		
	   I am still living with your ghost
            	  G5/E		G5	 G5/E  G5
	   Lonely and dreaming of the west coast
	              G5/E		  D5   E5    C5  
	   I don't want to be your downtime
		  C5	D5	G5
	   I don't want to be your stupid game

Verse II-
	   With my big black boots and an old suitcase
	   I do believe I'll find myself a new place
	   I don't want to be the bad guy
	   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-
				C5	
	   We can live beside the ocean
	   C5            D5          G5	
	   Leave the fire behind
	   G5	            E5     D5	 
	   Swim out past the breakers
	   D5	       C5      G5
	   Watch the world die

Verse III-
	   I am still dreaming of your face
	   Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away
	   I don't want to be your good time
	   I don't want to be your fall-back crutch anymore

Verse IV-
	   I'll walk right out into a brand new day
	   Insane and rising in my own weird way
	   I don't want to be the bad guy
	   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-
	   We can live beside the ocean
	   Leave the fire behind
	   Swim out past the breakers
	   And watch the world die
