Verse ii

With my big black boots and an old suitcase

I do believe I'll find myself a new place

I don't want to be the bad guy

I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore

I just want to see some palm trees

Go and try to shake away this disease

  D5 WatchC5 the worlG5d die

Verse iii

I am still dreaming of your face

Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away

I don't want to be your good time

I don't want to be your fall-back crutch anymore

Verse iv

I'll walk right out into a brand new day

Insane and rising in my own weird way

I don't want to be the bad guy

I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore

I just want to feel some sunshine

I just want to find some place to be alone

Chorus

We can live beside the ocean

Leave the fire behind

Swim out past the breakers

And watch the world die
