[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
When the dust settles in this
G
Sleepy little town
G
I'll be chasing the sun and hoping
C
It don't fall down on me
G
I just want to be lost at sea
G
These streets are windy and this alleyway is cold
G
And I've been dreaming of a place
C
A place I've never even known
G
Somewhere I can be free
[Chorus]
C
I wish I was a pirate
G
Instead of living here on these streets
D C
I wish I was a pirate
G
Lost at sea
[Verse 2]
G
In my dreams i'm on my ship
G
And i'm way out in the water
G
But real life speaks to me and
C
Every day gets a little harder to talk back
G
When your stuck under a railroad track
G
Leaning up against a street light
G
And i'm trying to recall love
G
My fingertips get so worn out
G
From all the holes in my glove
C
And then I get the notion
G
To sail myself out in the ocean
[Chorus]
C
I wish I was a pirate
G
Instead of living here on these streets
D C
I wish I was a pirate
G
Lost at sea
[Bridge]
Em D
When the waves crash down and hit the deck
C
I find myself alone
Em D
Sit back in the captains chair
C
And have myself
D
Another bottle of rum
C
I'll be drinking rum
G
Instead of living here on these streets
D C G
I wish I was a pirate
[Ending]
