Riff 2 x2
[Verse 1]
You were so Dmsure, but it's all premaFture
CGoing from post to Dmpost.
But now she's Dmcreaking up the stairs
And Fyou're so aware of Cthis unholy Dmhost.
FApathy uh, never Cleaves ya
You spent your Dmtime out on the road.
Other Fsailors, other Cfailures
You spent your Dmtime on the Barbury coast.
[Chorus]
So Bbbring back the rhythm of ghosts,
That Fdance six feet from Cunder my toes.
BbHold back the passing of time,
I don't Fknow what happens when we Cdie,
What happens when we Dmdie.
Riff 2 x2
[Verse 2] 
DmYou were alright, it was Fonly midnight,
Just Ctrying to find your way Dmhome.
And Dmyou would never guess in that Fblack satin dress,
Her Cskin was colder than a Dmstone.
Early Fmorning, without Cwarning,
Oh you Dmlaugh and it's all the same,
In the Fbar light, on a Cgood night,
Oh we Dmknew that we'd never change.
[Chorus]
So Bbbring back the rhythm of ghosts,
That Fdance six feet from Cunder my toes.
BbHold back the passing of time,
I don't Fknow what happens when we Cdie,
What happens when we Dmdie.
What happens when we Dmdie.

Other sailors, other failures

You spent your time on the Barbury coast.

That dance six feet from under my toes.

Hold back the passing of time,

I don't know what happens when we die,

What happens when we die.
