[C] [G] [C]
Verse
Spend my [C]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 takes [C]me
Bouncing and rolling like a cork lost out at [G]sea
[F]Endless nights that haunt and taunt [C]eternal seemingly
How the sirens [G]come to me
But they're not [F]real, just temptation in the [C]deep
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 [C]away
Instrumental

Verse
A [C]drunken sailor lost and lonely in a [F]sad and magic [C]swamp
Saint Michel protecting me from everything I [G]want
But [C]darkness falls like thunder and [F]that old dragon [C]wins
Running 'round in circles, trying to reach the [G]end
[F]Trying to break the cycle of [C]solitude and [F]sin
[C]Here come those [G]sirens [C]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
[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
Instrumental

Bridge
Pull the [F]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
'Cause the [C]night goes on and [G]on, [C]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]away[C][F]
