Intro  G# minorG#m   BB   F#F#

G# minorG#m
On the banks of the deep end
F#F#   C#C#
Where your soul is your best friend
G# minorG#m        BB     F#F#
Searching for a reason to go astray
Wild dreams turn to nightmares
Silver clouds turn to golden stairs
And everything that you used to know is slipping away
G# minorG#m   BB   F#F#  (2x)
Here, I've got my puzzle piece
Only got it for a short-term lease
No time for asking, no going back to get hurt
I take a little from the mixture
Try to fit it into the picture
Got a place where you're standing, dig your shoes into the dirt
E MajorE        BB     F# minorF#m
Trying hard to get back, running on the stones
E MajorE        BB     F# minorF#m
Put you on my shoulders, we can be the only one
E MajorE          BB                  F# minorF#m   G# minorG#m
See the world's still spinning round, getting dizzy when we look
There's a reason to be home, there's a feeling when you smile
But it feels like it might take over, this feeling deep inside
And there's a distance down the line, far away from the station
We can leave it all behind on a rolling creation
Sit away from the window and lock the door
Can't you learn from the last time and the time before
See the world's still spinning round, getting dizzy when we look
E MajorE  A augmentedA
Got to leave town
C#C#       BB
To see the yellow flowers bloom
D MajorD       A augmentedA
Sun going down
C#C#  D#D#
It's gonna be rising soon
On the banks of the deep end
Twisted as the river bend
Searching for a reason to go astray
You couldn't hire twenty five men to do what the man could do (note 1)
Just the sound of his walking could split the whole damn town in two
Into the night full of shadows, he still walks when the thunder rolls
This river ain't shallow, reminds us that the bell still tolls
Bears in the kitchen, tigers on TV
The singer's pretending that this song's for me
See the world's still spinning round, getting dizzy when we look
You took a wrong turn down by the waterline
I heard they had to drag you off the sand
Find a dune and the wind will miss you
Hold on to a piece of dry land
Got to hold on to a piece of dry land
Got to hold on to a piece of dry land
On the banks of the deep end
Where I lost my best friend
Searching for a reason
To go astray
