WHEN I WAS OLDER

Intro: [Bmadd9] [F#7] [Gmaj7] [F#7]

[Bmadd9]When I was [F#7]older

I was a [Gmaj7]sailor

On an open [F#7]sea

[Bmadd9]But now I'm [F#7]underwater

And my skin is [Gmaj7]paler

Than it should ever [F#7]be

 

[Bmadd9]I'm on my back [F#7]again

 

Where you and [Gmaj7]I remain the best of friends

Even after all this [F#7]ends

 

I'm on my back [F#7]again

 

Like all we ever [Gmaj7]do is see how far it bends

Before it breaks in half and [F#7]then

 

[Bmadd9]Guess I

got caught in the middle of it

 

In my [F#7]blood, in my blood

[Gmaj7]Memories burn like a forest fire

Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to [F#7]mud

 

[Bmadd9]When I was [F#7]older

I was a [Gmaj7]sailor

On an open [F#7]sea

[Bmadd9]But now I'm [F#7]underwater

And my skin is [Gmaj7]paler

Than it should ever [F#7]be

 

In black and white, I never seen

anybody do it like I do it any better

[F#7]Then going over you, I'm

overdue for no endeavors

Nobody lonely like I'm

lonely and I don't know whether

 

[Gmaj7]You'd really like it in the limelight

 

[F#7]I'm still a victim in my own right

I was a [Gmaj7]sailor
