INTRO:- [Ab - F# - Fm)


VERSE 1
Ab        F#  Fm           Ab
Will you love me like a sailor 
         F#   Fm        Ab
who loves the seven seas? 
         F#   Fm         Ab
And when my bones get older, 
         F#  Fm         Ab
will you drag me to my knees? 
         F# Fm           Ab
Like a drunken pirate shipwreck 
         F# Fm           Ab
on the golden caskets worn, 
         F#  Fm           Ab
It's the time when we're together. 
          F#  Fm            Ab
It's the time that keeps me young. 



Ab - F# - B - F#

Ab - F# - B - F#


CHORUS
Ab                 F#-B-F#
The burning size 
     Ab             F#-B-F#
of sirens lies. 
  Ab               F#-B-F#
The burning size 
    Ab              F#-F
of sirens lies.

VERSE 2
Ab       F#  Fm        Ab
When you go by the ocean, 
        F#   Fm       Ab
will you look to the sea? 
         F#  Fm            Ab
Always keep an eye for my coffin 
         F#  Fm            Ab
and the birds that set me free?


        F#  Fm     Ab
The burning size of sirens lies. 
At least we tried to make it. 
At least we tried to make it. 
At least we tried to make it. 
At least we tried
