[Intro]
C   G   C   F
C   G   C   F
C   G   C

[Verse]
          C
Spend my days
in a
haze, floating '
 F
round in the
    C
Marais
Nights under
the bright
 lights at
 Mignon on
         G
Beaumarchais
 C
Rouge wave gets me
mumbling, then
 F
tumbling it
      C
takes me
Bouncing and
rolling
like a cork
             G
lost out at sea
 F
Endless nights
that haunt and
        C
taunt eternal
seemingly
How the sirens
  G
 come to me
But they're not
 F
real, just
temptation in
     C
the deep

[Chorus]
 F
They all sing
along to a
 C
luring song of
 prey
Melody washes over
but can't
make out a word
      G
they say
 F
Tied my mooring
line
to wine, but it
 C
snapped back from
the fray
So I row against
the undertow
 G
drifting, my
anchor
   C
 away

[Verse]
   C
A drunken sailor
 lost
 and lonely in a
 F             C
sad and magic
swamp
Saint Michel
 protecting
 me
from everything
   G
I want
     C
But darkness
falls like
thunder and
 F
that old dragon
 C
wins
Running 'round in
 circles,
trying to reach
     G
the end
 F
Trying to break
 the
 cycle of
 C
solitude and s
 F
in
 C
Here come those
  G
 siren
     C
s again

[Chorus]
 F
They all sing
 along
to a
 C
luring song of
 prey
Melody washes
over but
 can't make
out a word they
  G
 say
 F
Tied my mooring
line
to wine, but it
 C
snapped back from
the fray
So I row against
the undertow
 G
drifting, my
         C
anchor away

[Bridge]
          F
Pull the wax out
of my
 ears, tie me
C
to the mast
headlong
My heart's free
 of
fear, so let
me hear that
siren
 G
song
 F
Play it loud and
 sing
it proud and
  C
 make it last so
 F
long
            C
'Cause the night
goes on
    G      C
and on, forever

[Chorus]

They all sing
 along to a
 C
luring song of
 prey
Melody washes
over
but can't make
out a word they

say

Tied my mooring
line
to wine, but it
 C
snapped back from
the fray
So I row against
the undertow
 G
drifting, my
 anchor
  F    F   C
away
