Verse 1:
I FM7Pray for them
I often loose track
So I Ctook a drag
of my G/Bfirst cigarrette
and I FM7found my head
Roll down the dumps
of C27G/Bth street
I FM7drew a sketch
with lipstick and sidewalk
of CNewports edge
G/BLegoblock cliffs
and an FM7ocean that doesn't
deserve the
sounds of Gsilence
I'd swear on a
dead artists grave
Chorus:
And AmI found a spot
where the Gdrunk
never got to
it Crocks me gently
silent silent
If AmI never surface
Git doesn't matter
CHold my breath
It's silent silent
Verse 2:
FM7Diligent
Escape by the water
Not Csick of it
It G/Bonly gets harder
That's no FM7excuse
to block all
the cliches and
Creason G/Bfor kicks
He sFM7trokes her hair
both sitting on sand
and her Cshoulders bare
noG/Bthing to demand of them
FM7laying back on a
lonely stone wall
and Cpassersby

Verse 1:

FM7

I Pray for them

I often loose track

So I took a drag

G/B

of my first cigarrette

and I found my head

Roll down the dumps

C G/B

of 27th street

FM7

I drew a sketch

with lipstick and sidewalk

of Newports edge

and an ocean that doesn't

deserve the

sounds of silence

I'd swear on a

Chorus:

And I found a spot

where the drunk

never got to

it rocks me gently

silent silent

If I never surface

it doesn't matter

Hold my breath

It's silent silent

Verse 2:

FM7

Diligent

Escape by the water

Not sick of it

G/B

It only gets harder

FM7

That's no excuse

to block all

the cliches and

reason for kicks

FM7

He strokes her hair

both sitting on sand

and her shoulders bare

nothing to demand of them
