Verse 1:
  Fm7
I Pray for them
I often loose track
     C
So I took a drag
      G/B
of my first cigarrette
      Fm7
and I found my head
Roll down the dumps
   C G/B
of 27th street
  Fm7
I drew a sketch
with lipstick and sidewalk
   C
of Newports edge
G/B
Legoblock cliffs
       Fm7
and an ocean that doesn't
deserve the
          G
sounds of silence
I'd swear on a
dead artists grave


Chorus:
    Am
And I found a spot
          G
where the drunk
never got to
   C
it rocks me gently
silent silent
   Am
If I never surface
G
it doesn't matter
C
Hold my breath
It's silent silent


Verse 2:
Fm7
Diligent
Escape by the water
   C
Not sick of it
   G/B
It only gets harder
          Fm7
That's no excuse
to block all
the cliches and
C      G/B
reason for kicks
    Fm7
He strokes her hair
both sitting on sand
        C
and her shoulders bare
  G/B
nothing to demand of them
Fm7
laying back on a
lonely stone wall
    C
and passersby
     G/B
look passed it all


(Repeat Chorus)


Interlude: Am - G - C - G/B x2


(Repeat Chorus)
