D F#m D F#m



🎸 Verse 1:
F#m
Picture a man
F#m
Seen like a spec out from the shore
          D
Swimming out beyond the breakers
           F#m
Like he's done his life before
           E            C#
He feels a coming of a squall
              D              F#m
Will drag him out a greater length
         D                           F#m
But knows his strength, and tries to gather it

🎸 Verse 2:
F#m
And he swims on
F#m
Turning back to shore again
           D
Above the outer atmosphere
      F#m
Of a world he's never seen
             E               C#
And looking down to his new home
           D             F#m                D
He feels the rising of a wave and knows at once
             F#m                  E    C#
He will not weather it like that man


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
C#       D              F#m          D
I lookеd down into the depths when I mеt you
D
I couldn't measure it


🎸 Chorus:
 F#           A
Anytime I'd struggled on
              D             F#
Against the course out on my own
       E  C#               D          F#m
Every time I'd burn through the world
I'd see
         C#           E       F#m
That the world, it burns through me
F#
But when I (I)
I'd let go (I'd let go)
               D
My struggling form (My struggling form)
   F#m
My willing soul (I'd see)
 E        C#
Every time (Each time)
              D               F#m
Would flow through the world
I'd see
C#        E
That the world (The world)
F#m
It flows through me (It flows through me)
   C#         E                F#m
That the world, it flows through me

Instrumental 🎸 Break:

F#m D E F#m E C# D F#m E F#m

🎸 Verse 2:
F#m
Picture a grave
F#m
Picture six feet freshly dug
      D
The sharp temporary walls
              F#m
At the long-term cliff edge of the world
        E                 C#
Light and air find some new deepness there
     D             F#m
And usher down the sky
      F#m     Dmaj7              F#m
Where one stands by and tries to make sense of it


🎸 Verse 3:
F#m
But try measure loss
F#m
Measure the silence of a house
       D
The unheard footsteps at the doorway
          F#m
The unemployment of the mouth
          E              C#
The waking up, having forgotten
         D              F#m         D
And remembering again the full extent
       F#m
Of what forever is


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
           E    C#
With each grave
          D                     F#m       D
I think of loss and I can only think of you
             F#m
And I couldn't measure it


🎸 Chorus:
F#               A
Anytime I've struggled on (Struggled on)
                D
Against the course (Against the course)
F#
Out on my own (I'd see)
   E             C#
Every time (Each time)
                 D           F#m
I'd burn through the world
I'd see
           C#
That the world (The world)
E             F#m
It burns through me (Burns through me)
F#
But when I (I)
I'd let go (I'd let go)
               D
My struggling form (My struggling form)
E         F#m
My willing soul (I'd see)
       E       C#
Every time (Each time)
              D                  F#m
Would flow through the world
I'd see
          C#
That the world (The world)
E              F#m
It flows through me (It flows through me)
         C#     E         F#m
That the world, it flows through me
