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

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

[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] 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 anchor F F C away
