Fm Fm6
Save me from drowning in the sea -
Cm
Beat me up on the beach.
Fm Gm7
What a lovely holiday,
G7 C7sus4 Cm
There’s nothing funny left to say.
Fm Fm6
This sombre song would drain the sun,
Cm
But it won’t shine until it’s sung.
Fm Gm7
No water running in the stream,
G7 C7sus4 C7
The saddest place we’ve ever seen.
G# Bb/Ab
Everything I touched was golden,
D#
Everything I loved got broken
On the road to Mandalay1.
G# Gm
Every mistake I’ve ever made
Fm7
Has been rehashed and then replayed,
Bb
As I got lost along the way.
Chorus:
Fm Bb
Bom-bom-bom bah dah dum-bom bom
D# Cm
Bom-bom-bom bah dah dum-bom bom
G# Bb
Bom-bom-bom bah dah dum-bom bom
Cm
Bom-ba-dum
There’s nothing left for you to give.
The truth is all that you’re left with,
Twenty paces then at dawn
We will die and be reborn.
I like to sleep beneath the trees,
Have the universe at one with me,
Look down the barrel of a gun
And feel the Moon replace the Sun.
Everything we’ve ever stolen
Has been lost, returned or broken,
No more dragons left to slay.
Every mistake I’ve ever made
Has been rehashed and then replayed
As I got lost along the way.
Chorus 3 times
