Golden Gate Jumpers Chords
The Cold War Kids
Listen to the song for exact timing. chorus might be able to be improved upon, but
this is the song)
Thick fog rolls in waves, On the Golden Gate
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
"Ma'am how was your day?
Keep your eyes on my face
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
"Ma'am how was your day?
Keep your eyes on my face
I want to help you now, if you'll let me"
(Outro:)
Most folks think they'll hit the surface and never, feel no pain
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
