Lumineers - Submarines

love this song – – i think it’s the best song , lyrically speaking , that’s been
written in probably the past 10 years .

G Cadd9 D – D – D
i believe submarines
G Cadd9 D – D – D
underneath deep blue seas
G Cadd9 D – D – D
saw the flags : japanese
G Cadd9 D – D – D
no one will believe me
Em
ran back to the town bar
G
and i told the people how
Em
i had seen the submarine
Cadd9
and everyone laughed aloud

( repeat chord progression )

i did spy periscopes
dead of night on the eastern coast
the police made them jokes
told me i’d seen a ghost

everyone thinks i’m a liar
no one knows the truth
if it was a bigger fire
i would be on the roof

ships will rust in baldwin bay
( let me go! )
no one trusts what i say
( i don’t know! )
oh my god , no one paid
( attention! )
overnight my hair turned gray
( oh oh oh! )

in the end it boils down to credibility
i had none , so i will die with the secrets of the sea

( submarine! can’t find me! submarine! )

submarine . . .

( submarine! )
