Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

We saw in the dawn from the roof of the bar

 When nights become days and you've gone too far

We listened to songbirds and rush hour cars and welcomed in the day

 You said, “London in summertime is great,

 On days like this I feel like I could escape

 From things that I've done and mistakes that I've made.

 I'd wash it all away”

We bathed like swimmers in the morning sun, waiting for our night to end

It felt like one of us would come down hard and one of us would start again

It started out curious, it started out fun

 We smoked in the woods when we were young

And secretly slipped something under our tongues

And danced the night away

 And everyone stumbles on old cocaine

 It burns out the flesh, and it burdens the brain

 ‘Til brown comes and whisks away your pain and you find you've lost your way

We bathed like swimmers in the morning sun, waiting for our night to end

It felt like one of us would come down hard and one of us would start again

Sink in the river for your death

Sleep with the fishes, draw no breath

Swallow forever ‘til nothing's left

 Take no rest

Oh my friend, if you made for the shore, you'd see us here, we're all waiting

Just cast your eyes down to the floor you'll see us here, we're waiting

Don't sink in the river for your death

You could sleep in the shade and draw some breath

Could start fresh tomorrow, leave what's left

 Please draw breath, please draw breath

 Let's let nights become days

 So come down kid the roofs not safe now

 All your friends are waiting for you to get some rest
