Verse 1:
          D
Well, you fight like the devil to
                            A
Just keep your head above water
A

Chained to whatever you got
                      D
That you can't throw away
           D
And you're shooting through space
                                    A
On that river of life that you're riding
         A
And it's swirling and sucking you
                    D
Deeper on down everyday

Chorus 1:
        G
So you turn to your trusty old partner
                    D
To share some old feelings
         A
And you find to your shock that
                             D
Your faithful companion is gone. (So long, Tonto)
          G
And the truth slowly dawns that you're
                         D
Lost and alone in deep water
           A
And you don't even know how much longer
             Bm
There is to go on.

Verse 2:
        D
Like an old Holy Bible you've clung to
               A
For so many seasons
         A
With the rules of survival in words
                   D
You could still understand
          D
When they proved something wrong
                                 A
You believed in so long you go crazy
           A
And you're so close to foldin' the cards
                       D
That you hold in your hand

Chorus 2:
             G                                  D
Singing, "Holy Toledo! I can't see the light anymore!"
  A                                              D
"All those horizons that I used to guide me are gone."
         G                                             D
"And the darkness is driving me farther away from the shore."
   A                                      Bm
Throw me a rhyme or a reason to try to go on.
