Golden Gate Jumpers

Cold War Kids

 BbA7D7GFF
 Thick fog rolls in waves,   On the Golden Gate
 BbA7D7GFF
 I was checking my watch     with 7 minutes in my shift

When I spot a black skirt on the rail
Straddling the bar like it's a quater a ride
She's scared to jump but terrified to stay
Walk to her slow extend my hand with a smile and say

 BbBbB
 "Ma'am how was your day?
 BbBbG
 Keep your eyes on my face
 GGG7
  I want to help you now,  if you'll let me"                             

(play verse twice as interlude)

She's stratled, I look forward
Wrap my arms 'round her legs
Pull her down to the sidewalk
We're both heaving for air and I say

 BbBbB
 "Ma'am how was your day?
 BbBbG
 Keep your eyes on my face
 GGG7
  I want to help you now,  if you'll let me"                             

(Outro:)

 CBBB
 Most folks think they'll hit the surface and never, feel no  pain
 CBB
  Water pulls you under back to the womb once again

Bodies float to the shore
Bloated purple and blue
If sharks won't get you first
Crabs will have their way with you
