[Intro]
G  F  Em    Eb  C F G


[Verse 1]
G
You can sink or swim, that's what they say
                              F
You should get from there to here
Dm7
Orbit the edge of a vortex
                         C
Till the background disappears
   G
He was the first man I ever met
                     F
He filled in every space
Dm7
Told me not to mumble
                        C
There was anger in his face


[Chorus]
      Ebmaj7     C
Those green eyes
      F
Those green eyes
          Dm7
Look past me
  Ebmaj7
A fool lies
Only a fool lies
Cm7            F
Only a fool lies
            Bm7 Bb
There is no need
         Ebmaj7
There is no need
Ebmaj7                   G  F  Em
Do you have what I want?
                   Eb Cm F G
Do you have what I want?


[Verse 2]
G
His dad wore Old Spice and he wore Brut
                    Fmaj7
We loved him naturally
Dm7
Making grilled cheese for dinner
                C
In an RV by the sea
G
Or in the desert, burning out the lights
                   Fmaj7
The final moment before
Dm7
He was alone for all the good times
                              C
Till we stumbled through the door


[Chorus]
        Ebmaj7            F  Cm7 F
There's no prize, there's no prize
Cm7         Dm7
No fight to win
   Ebmaj7    C        F   Cm7 F
On his side, maybe on his side
           Bm7 Bbmaj7
I could've been
           Ebmaj7
I could've been
Ebmaj7
Did he have what I want?
     C
Do I know what that was?
       Ebmaj7
If you see who I am
         C              G  F  Em
Will you be who he was?
                    Eb  C F G
Will you be who he was?
