E5

E5                      A5
We saw in the dawn from the roof of the bar

      B5                      A5          F#5
When nights become days and you've gone too far

E5                        A5                  B5            A5
We listened to songbirds and rush hour cars and welcomed in the day

         E5                A5
You said, ?London in summertime is great,

    B5                        A5            F#5
On days like this I feel like I could escape

      E5                  A5
From things that I've done and mistakes that I've made.

     B5            A5      F#5
I'd wash it all away?

A5                        E5         A5                        E5
We bathed like swimmers in the morning sun, waiting for our night to end

A5                        E5            A5   A5 A5            E5
It felt like one of us would come down hard and one  of   us would start again

E5                      A5
It started out curious, it started out fun

      B5                A5           F#5
We smoked in the woods when we were young

E5                        A5                  
And secretly slipped something under our tongues

B5            A5
And danced the night away

         E5                A5
And everyone stumbles on old cocaine

    B5                        A5                F#5
It burns out the flesh, and it burdens the brain

      E5                 A5                     B5                  A5      F#5
?Til brown comes and whisks away your pain and you find you've lost your way

A5                        E5         A5                        E5
We bathed like swimmers in the morning sun, waiting for our night to end

A5                        E5            A5   A5 A5            E5
It felt like one of us would come down hard and one  of   us would start again

F#5                      B5
Sink in the river for your death

F#5                      B5
Sleep with the fishes, draw no breath

F#5                      B5
Swallow forever ?til nothing's left

      F#5
Take no rest

F#5                B5      F#5                  E5                  F#5
Oh my friend, if you made for the shore, you'd see us here, we're all waiting

F#5                B5      F#5                  E5                  F#5
Just cast your eyes down to the floor you'll see us here, we're waiting

F#5                            B5
Don't sink in the river for your death

F#5                                  B5
You could sleep in the shade and draw some breath

F#5                                  B5
Could start fresh tomorrow, leave what's left

            F#5            E5            A5
Please draw breath, please draw breath

                  E5            A5
Let's let nights become days

    E5    A5    E5   B5   F#5      A5     B5
So come down kid the roofs not safe now

 E5    A5    E5      B5   F#5  B5  A5   B5     A5  F#5  A5
All your friends are waiting for you to get some rest
