Intro:
C majorC A minorAm C majorC (x2)

Verse 1:
C majorC               A minorAm
I always try to leave a little part of me off
C majorC             C majorC A minorAm C majorC
Somewhere deep inside you
C majorC                A minorAm
But the ones that have been breaking off lately
C majorC                C majorC A minorAm G+G
Just seem so far from my truth
FF                           C majorC   G+G
I watched your eyes both parting tears like they were Moses
FF                    C majorC    G+G
And your savior standing off on distant shores
FF               C majorC           G+G
Wondering if I had ever really noticed the man I was before
          C majorC
If he was there anymore

Verse 2:
C majorC                       A minorAm
And I always thought I could predict both our futures
     C majorC              C majorC A minorAm C majorC
From the way your lips went sailing
C majorC               A minorAm
Oh, but my tongue is a rudder, too
    C majorC                 C majorC A minorAm G+G
And it sent me off to find another island
FF                       C majorC   G+G
I watched you wish that you had never even met me
FF                    C majorC    G+G
And for your sake, I guess I wish the same
FF                  C majorC             G+G
I spent three long day inside of the belly of a whale of your blame
        C majorC
Forgot my real name

Interlude:
C majorC A minorAm G+G C majorC (x3)
C majorC A minorAm C majorC

Verse 3:
C majorC                  A minorAm
And when we're born, tectonic plates move
     C majorC           C majorC A minorAm C majorC
Until we grow up to a mountain
C majorC                  A minorAm
And all our actions break away our youth
    C majorC               C majorC A minorAm G+G
But we still dream of it in fountains
FF                       C majorC    G+G
I'm sorry that I chipped away what makes you strong
FF                    C majorC     G+G
I was searching for myself beneath your stones
FF                       C majorC            G+G
But I just found there is no cure for all our longings in a temporary home,
       C majorC
so I left you alone

C majorC                  A minorAm
And I awoke with your pain beating hard
      C majorC             C majorC A minorAm C majorC
Against my heart till it went faster
C majorC                  A minorAm
And the sky was full of flames and the sun
      C majorC             C majorC A minorAm G+G
Was tossing rays like God's laughter
FF                     C majorC    G+G
But how am I supposed to learn to walk on water
FF                 C majorC     G+G
When I am the only reason for the storm?
FF                    C majorC             G+G
And the only thing that I have called a master keeps changing its form
          C majorC
Since the day I was born

Interlude:
C majorC A minorAm (x3)
C majorC A minorAm FF A minorAm

Verse 4:
FF                    C majorC     G+G
Well, I know that words could never ever heal this;
FF             A minorAm         G+G
You must wrap yourself in bandages of time
FF                        C majorC               G+G
And the truth will grow from pain that I have caused us Till it falls from the vine
FF                    C majorC     G+G
And one wind can't blow us in different directions
FF                 C majorC   G+G
One of us must do the work to row away
FF                  C majorC                   G+G
I volunteer my arms to break the wet reflections if it's you that needs to stay
          C majorC
For some brand new day

Outro:
C majorC A minorAm G+G C majorC (x4)
