G Dsus/F#
I’ll start my life out on the sea
Em7 Cadd9
Away from waving families
G Dsus/F#
Found washed in walking on the beach
Em7 Cadd9
In the fishing town in june
G Dsus/F#
I’ll have all my words for company
Em7 Cadd9
A few shards of new currency
G Dsus/F#
A lamp to show the evening in
Em7 Cadd9
And wake me when it leaves
Em7 Dsus/F#
But here I am, still on these sands
G Dsus/F#
Well if these tall buildings part from me
Em7 Cadd9
Then I’ll swim myself to sovereignty
G Dsus/F#
No people creeping, marching streets
Em7 Cadd9
Will keep me from my seas
G Dsus/F#
Well if all my things are packed and neat
Em7 Cadd9
Quick stiff joint to help me sleep
G Dsus/F#
Then I’ll wade out till it’s too deep
Em7 Cadd9
And row myself away

Em7 Dsus/F# Em7
By here I am, still on these sands, with you.
Dsus/F# Cadd9
Here’s to your piss city
Dsus/F# Cadd9 Em7
Cause I save this modern law
Dsus/F# Cadd9
Here’s to your piss city
Dsus/F# Cadd9 Em7
Cause I save this modern law
G, Dsus/F#, Em7, Cadd9 x2
Dsus/F# Cadd9
Here’s to your piss city
Dsus/F# Cadd9 Em7
Cause I save this modern law
Dsus/F# Cadd9
Here’s to your piss city
Dsus/F# Cadd9 Em7
Cause I save this modern law
G Dsus/F#
It seems weeks since you have talked to me
Em7 Cadd9
Whilst I build my new economy
G Dsus/F#
Of practicing excuses of
Em7 Cadd9
Why it is I have to leave
G Dsus/F#
I said if these tall buildings part from me
Em7 Cadd9
But I guess that only works for me
G Dsus/F#
Of working out why these streets
Em7 Cadd9
Have never been my home
Dsus/F# G
And yes I know, I will row alone
