Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
Am G F x2

Verse:
           Am
He scared himself into a trance
               G        F
Ducking down rivers, secretly
           Am
He floated out into the ocean
              G               F
Of his worst dream, of his rough sea?
          Am
Of all the men he could trust
            G                          F
He was not one of them, always hurting himself
              Am
This scars and seams, the wounds are tone
          G                             F
Whatever time had healed, it's still too cold
           Am
A life washed away, like words in the sand
              G                       F
And when the high tide came, so went his brain
            Am
A troubled past, a troubled future
           G                F
A troubled way leaning on a bar stool
             Am
When strobelight stop, he finally saw
      G                    F
Navigation towards a brand new course
          Am
But to himself the memory clear
          G          F                     Am
Cold confession only,  that only he could hear

Instrumental:
Am G F x2
Am G F

Verse:
            Am
He let himself scream, he let himself cry
         G                F
Let himself reach the other side
              Am
There was no Christ, there was no cross
         G                   F
Just forgiveness, allowed himself
              Am
Accepted the past, then set it free
           G                  F
Oh and it ran off like an animal with ease
              Am
He holds the bruise?, he holds their star
          G                    F
In his pure arms, in his clear heart
          Am
He's safe now, he's back in her breast
             G                      F            Am
He saw his path, and changed it, chased it, at last

Outro:
Am G F x5
