E A
We saw in the dawn from the roof of the bar
B A F#m
When nights become days and you've gone too far
E A B A
We listened to songbirds and rush hour cars and welcomed in the day
E A
You said, “London in summertime is great,
B A F#m
On days like this I feel like I could escape
E A
From things that I've done and mistakes that I've made.
B A F#m
I'd wash it all away”
A E A E
We bathed like swimmers in the morning sun, waiting for our night to end
A E A Amaj7 A E
It felt like one of us would come down hard and one of us would start again
E A
It started out curious, it started out fun
B A F#m
We smoked in the woods when we were young
E A
And secretly slipped something under our tongues
B A
And danced the night away
E A
And everyone stumbles on old cocaine
B A F#m
It burns out the flesh, and it burdens the brain
E A B A F#m
‘Til brown comes and whisks away your pain and you find you've lost your way
A E A E
We bathed like swimmers in the morning sun, waiting for our night to end
A E A Amaj7 A E
It felt like one of us would come down hard and one of us would start again
F#m B
Sink in the river for your death
F#m B
Sleep with the fishes, draw no breath
F#m B
Swallow forever ‘til nothing's left
F#m
Take no rest
F#m B F#m E F#m
Oh my friend, if you made for the shore, you'd see us here, we're all waiting
F#m B F#m E F#m
Just cast your eyes down to the floor you'll see us here, we're waiting
F#m B
Don't sink in the river for your death
F#m B
You could sleep in the shade and draw some breath
F#m B
Could start fresh tomorrow, leave what's left
F#m E A
Please draw breath, please draw breath
E A
Let's let nights become days
E A E B F#m A B
So come down kid the roofs not safe now
E A E B F#m B A B A F#m A
All your friends are waiting for you to get some rest
