A#                                  F
Well, I had the dreams of the water
A#                               F
And suckin’ it through my lungs
A#                     F
An ocean with no bottom
               D
A body with no name
         A#              F
Floatin’ lifeless in the rain

A#                                  F
But I seen the smoke from the fires
A#                             F
That burn quietly in our lungs
A#                      F
Embers that don’t smolder
                         D
And flames that will not die
          A#                 F
No matter how hard the water tries

C                     D
I won’t be a rich man
       A#
I have yet to find one that I can trust so I’ll
C                       D                   A#
I’ll have to get by on sweat and rust
C                    D
Forever the poor boys
         A#                                        C
Drinking bottom shelf with the rest of the working stiffs
                         D
Whatever keeps that fire lit

        A#  F
He-ey yeah
                    D
I’ll see you on the late shift
A#             F
We’ll be okay
D       A# F
Ba-A-abe
                            D
If we only have the love to make it
A#             F
We’ll be okay
         D      F      D      F
We’ll be okay
A#                                     F
We’ll cross the bridge where the rents are cheap
A#                         F
And we can live like kings
A#                          F
We’ll live just off a dollar or two
                            D
Do whatever you gotta do
            A#
Do whatever you gotta do
C                   D
We’ll never be rich girl
         A#
But was that the point of all of this or
C             D                 A#
Were we meant to follow bliss?
C              D                       A#
We’re as young and free as we’ll ever be
                          C
With hearts like pounding fists
                         D
Whatever keeps that fire lit

        A#  F
He-ey yeah
                    D
I’ll see you on the late shift
A#             F

We’ll be okay
         D      F
We’ll be okay   yeah
         D      F
We’ll be okay   yeah
         D      F
We’ll be okay   yeah

C                    D
Forever the poor boys
         A#                                        C
Drinking bottom shelf with the rest of the working stiffs
                         D
