Bm F#7 When I was older, Gmaj7 F#7 I was a sailor, on an open sea Bm F#7 Gmaj7 But now I'm underwater, and my skin is paler, F#7 than it should ever be Bm Mmm-hmmm Bm F#7 I'm on my back again Dreaming of a time and place Gmaj7 where you and I remain the best of friends F#7 Even after all this ends, can we pretend? I'm on my, I'm on my back again It's seeming more and more Like all we ever do is see how far it bends Before it breaks in half and then We bend it back again Guess I got caught in the middle of it Yes I've been taught, got a little of it In my blood, in my blood Memories burn like a forest fire Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to mud In the flood Chorus: When I was older I was a sailor on an open sea But now I'm underwater And my skin is paler than it should ever be Bm I'm watching movies back to back 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 You'd sympathize with all the bad guys F#7 I'm still a victim in my own right But I'm the villain in my own eyes, yeah Bm F#7 Gmaj7 F#7 When I was older, I was a sailor, on an open sea | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsF#7  Gm  Gmaj7  Gmaj  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
