🎸 Verse 1:

D
Sun up high
A            Em
Life is an epitome
   D           A                 Em
Or so it was until they rose out from the sea
D
Sparks descend
A               Em
Giant, like hot air balloons
D             A             Em
Striking everyone in the vicinity

      G    D  A                 F#m E Bm
I was with my friend, there was no defense
        G                  A                D     A
We were split apart, and I haven’t seen him since

🎸 Verse 2:

D
Months go by
    A            Em
The sunset is perpetual
      D               A            Em
Those sparks, they continue to afflict us
D
Stuck inside
  A      Em
Electric quarantine
D               A                 Em
No more will we let the sparks restrict us

     G     D  A             F#m E   Bm
So I found my friend, we ran to the end
       G      A                  D     A
Of the earth, as far as we could go

🎸 Bridge:

   C
We hit the sea, can’t go no further,
D                           Em     G G/F#
Sparks hound us like a sheepherder
C
Caught between the spark and sea,
    D                         Em G G/F#
The two don’t mix we quite agree
C
The sparks divide like long division
D
Now I’m blocked by a partition
   C
My friend forced out to the waves
  D                                  D#dim7
I can’t do nothing to stop our early graves
          C
He cries “I can’t swim, I’m gonna drown”
    D
I’m sorry friend, I let you down
    D#dim7                   C  E7
But no one can say we didn’t try

🎸 Verse 3:

D
Looking on
    A                Em
His two feet hit the salty foam
    D              A               Em D
And he proceeds to walk across the surface
D
Looking up
   A               Em
He moves across it safe and sound
D            A             Em
Off into the sunset, smile on his face

     G   D   A            F#m E Bm
So I try the same, but to my dismay
   G               A              D
My feet are simply going straight through!
           D#dim7 C E7
What can I do?

🎸 Verse 4:

D
Sun up high
A            Em
Life was an epitome
   D           A                 Em       D
Or so it was until they rose out from the sea
D
Sparks descend
A                 Em
Bringing my story to an end
   D              A                    Em
So take a lesson, sparks and sea don’t mix, you see
       D       A             Em  A
Take a lesson, and enjoy the journey.
