Intro:

D MajorD E minorEm B minorBm G+G

Verse 1:

D MajorD           E minorEm
It fell apart just as it began
   B minorBm        G+G
In a flash of defiance
D MajorD          E minorEm
You won't take the initiative
    B minorBm      G+G
But the rest was mine
D MajorD        E minorEm
On demand I will understand
    B minorBm            G+G
What a freefall could feel like
D MajorD        E minorEm
You became but a fabled dream
      B minorBm      G+G
That would blur in time

Pre-Chorus:

A augmentedA       B minorBm
But a restless heart
A augmentedA          G+G     D MajorD
’Cause sometimes the spark you know
  G+G     B minorBm
How sweet the glow
   E minorEm         G/BG/B
That kicks you off your line
     D MajorD   E minorEm B minorBm G+G
Hold your nerve


Chorus:

D MajorD
I was not right
E minorEm
I was bent out
B minorBm        G+G
And still left unshown
D MajorD
Weighing on that
E minorEm
Time in anguish
B minorBm       G+G
Now it left me broke

D MajorD E minorEm B minorBm G+G

Verse 2:

D MajorD           E minorEm
Is this the sound of a moving ground
    B minorBm           G+G
Or the echoes of self-doubt?
D MajorD            E minorEm
I found the way to some peace of mind
    B minorBm       G+G
That I still can't use
D MajorD        E minorEm
To meditate on a shifting sand
   B minorBm           G+G
Takes steadfast and sure feet
D MajorD        E minorEm
You became but a fabled dream
      B minorBm       G+G
That would stir in time


Pre-Chorus:

A augmentedA       B minorBm
But a restless heart
A augmentedA          G+G     D MajorD
'Cause sometimes the spark you know
  G+G     B minorBm
How sweet the glow
   E minorEm         G/BG/B
That kicks you off your line
     D MajorD   E minorEm B minorBm G+G
Hold your nerve


Chorus:

D MajorD
I was not right
E minorEm
I was bent out
B minorBm        G+G
And still left unsure
D MajorD
Weighing on that
E minorEm
Time in anguish
B minorBm       G+G
Now it left me broke

D MajorD
When you called me
E minorEm
I was anxious
B minorBm      G+G
And I felt exposed
D MajorD
But if all this
E minorEm
Might be worth it
B minorBm      G+G
Then I had to know

D MajorD E minorEm B minorBm G+G

D MajorD
I’m not angry
E minorEm
For the time lost
B minorBm         G+G
That's the turning wheel
D MajorD
When I knew then
E minorEm
When I know now
B minorBm     G+G
It was justified
D MajorD
Baby, all that
E minorEm
Sweet connection
B minorBm         G+G
Sometimes takes its time
