 [E]    [G5]      Lonely and dreaming of the west coast

 [G5]
 [E]          I don't [D5]want t[E5]o be yo[C5]ur downtime

 [C5]        [D5]  I don'[G5]t want to be your stupid game

           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

 [C5]          We can live beside the ocean

 [C5]          Leave[D5] the fire beh[G5]ind

 [G5]          Swim out p[E5]ast the [D5]breakers

 [D5]          Watch[C5] the worl[G5]d die

           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

           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

           We can live beside the ocean
           Leave the fire behind
           Swim out past the breakers
           And watch the world die
