New Brighton

G It's where we swam to, when I was younger D I remember how, you held me under G I was brand new, being underwater D But I'm stronger now, that I am a father A All the work is now, weight on my shoulders D 'Bout the future, and how we're getting older A And it's funny now, seeing you around D Wearing that silly frown, it doesn't suit you F C And I've been kinda thinking about the simple life D E How I wanna lead it F C I've been kinda thinking about the real world D E You welcome me to it F Abm I...I - I - I D It was a bad idea, bringing them here G Because they have shifty eyes D All they see is paradise A But I've got a home here, what I've worked for D A And it's over there that I get an answer that I want to hear D Not facts and figures about the atmosphere, how I could affect it F C And I've been kinda thinking about the simple life D E How I wanna lead it F C I've been kinda thinking about the real world D E You welcome me to it F Abm I...I - I - I C F E Am With battle we fought up pavilion C F E Am Caused us to retreat three hundred miles to the safety of our New Brighton C F Where we treat a hundred-twenty E Am C F And with the front lines crossed, we slowly reveal no secrets at all E Am C We're just lonely boys with our submarine toys N/C C And I've been kinda thinking about the simple life D E How I wanna lead it F C I've been kinda thinking about the real world D E You welcome me to it F Abm I...I - I - I E
