C
Pray for them
I often loose track
Am
So I took a drag
G/E
of my first cigarrette
C
and I found my head
Roll down the dumps
C* G/E*
of twenty seventh street
C
I drew a sketch
with lipstick and sidewalk
Am
of Newports edge
G/E
Legoblock cliffs
F
and an ocean that doesn't
Fmaj7 G
deserve the sounds of silence
I'd swear on a dead artists grave
Am
I found a spot
G/E
where the drunk never got to
C**
it rocks me gently silent, silent
Am
If I never surface
G/E
it doesn't matter
C**
Hold my breath
It's silent, silent
C
Diligent
Escape by the water
Am
Not sick of it
G/E
It only gets harder
C
That's no excuse
to block all the cliches and
C* G/E*
reason for kicks
C
He strokes her hair
both sitting on sand
Am
and her shoulders bare
G/E
nothing to demand of them
C
laying back on a lonely stone wall
Am G/E
and passersby look passed it all
Am
I found a spot
G/E
where the drunk never got to
C**
it rocks me gently silent, silent
Am
If I never surface
G/E
it doesn't matter
C**
Hold my breath
It's silent, silent
