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)
