E

E                      A
We saw in the dawn from the roof of the bar

      B                      A          F#m
When nights become days and you've gone too far

E                        A                  B            A
We listened to songbirds and rush hour cars and welcomed in the day

         E                A
You said, ?London in summertime is great,

    B                        A            F#m
On days like this I feel like I could escape

      E                  A
From things that I've done and mistakes that I've made.

     B            A      F#m
I'd wash it all away?

A                        E         A                        E
We bathed like swimmers in the morning sun, waiting for our night to end

A                        E            A   A7M A            E
It felt like one of us would come down hard and one  of   us would start again

E                      A
It started out curious, it started out fun

      B                A           F#m
We smoked in the woods when we were young

E                        A                  
And secretly slipped something under our tongues

B            A
And danced the night away

         E                A
And everyone stumbles on old cocaine

    B                        A                F#m
It burns out the flesh, and it burdens the brain

      E                 A                     B                  A      F#m
?Til brown comes and whisks away your pain and you find you've lost your way

A                        E         A                        E
We bathed like swimmers in the morning sun, waiting for our night to end

A                        E            A   A7M A            E
It felt like one of us would come down hard and one  of   us would start again

F#m                      B
Sink in the river for your death

F#m                      B
Sleep with the fishes, draw no breath

F#m                      B
Swallow forever ?til nothing's left

      F#m
Take no rest

F#m                B      F#m                  E                  F#m
Oh my friend, if you made for the shore, you'd see us here, we're all waiting

F#m                B      F#m                  E                  F#m
Just cast your eyes down to the floor you'll see us here, we're waiting

F#m                            B
Don't sink in the river for your death

F#m                                  B
You could sleep in the shade and draw some breath

F#m                                  B
Could start fresh tomorrow, leave what's left

            F#m            E            A
Please draw breath, please draw breath

                  E            A
Let's let nights become days

    E    A    E   B   F#m      A     B
So come down kid the roofs not safe now

 E    A    E      B   F#m  B  A   B     A  F#m  A
All your friends are waiting for you to get some rest
