Verse 1:
  F5
I Pray for them
I often loose track
     C5
So I took a drag
      G5
of my first cigarrette
      F5
and I found my head
Roll down the dumps
   C5 G5
of 27th street
  F5
I drew a sketch
with lipstick and sidewalk
   C5
of Newports edge
G5
Legoblock cliffs
       F5
and an ocean that doesn't
deserve the
          G5
sounds of silence
I'd swear on a
dead artists grave


Chorus:
    A5
And I found a spot
          G5
where the drunk
never got to
   C5
it rocks me gently
silent silent
   A5
If I never surface
G5
it doesn't matter
C5
Hold my breath
It's silent silent


Verse 2:
F5
Diligent
Escape by the water
   C5
Not sick of it
   G5
It only gets harder
          F5
That's no excuse
to block all
the cliches and
C5      G5
reason for kicks
    F5
He strokes her hair
both sitting on sand
        C5
and her shoulders bare
  G5
nothing to demand of them
F5
laying back on a
lonely stone wall
    C5
and passersby
     G5
look passed it all


(Repeat Chorus)


Interlude: A5 - G5 - C5 - G5 x2


(Repeat Chorus)
