Well I'm near the city on the south side at the shore

And the postman thinks I'm crazy because I don't pick up my mail

The words are different, but I still know what they mean

So I think I'll sweep the dust off

It was easy when we started, all we had were cheap guitars

And the times we had just won't come 'round again

There was music in the evening, and if nobody was listening
Bb Csus4 C7 F C7
Nobody cared, and so we piled into the cars
[Pre Chorus]
F C/E Bb F
Swimming in the sea at night and listening to the radio
Gm7 F Gm7 F/C C7 F
And working in the daytime if you wanted to

But now those days are dead and gone and everybody's scattered round
Bb Csus4 C7 F Gm F
Maybe there'll be someone left to play...
