🎸 Intro:
E MajorE F# minorF#m C# minorC#m BB x2
A augmentedA C# minorC#m BB

🎸 Verse 1:
A augmentedA     E MajorE     BB
Into the mouth of control
     C# minorC#m
Take me down where the river strays
A augmentedA     E MajorE
Where it flows outside the lines
BB     C# minorC#m
Where it's picked apart and thrown away
A augmentedA    E MajorE          BB
Now I'm finally feeling free
      C# minorC#m            A augmentedA E MajorE
I'm living down by an old par three
         BB
You know I'll be playing

🎸 Chorus 1:
E MajorE         F# minorF#m
Come around, don't take it hard
       C# minorC#m        BB
Don't let 'em stone you when the comedown starts
E MajorE           F# minorF#m
You've been moving much too fast
C# minorC#m             BB
You never know just where it ends
        A augmentedA        C# minorC#m     BB
What will I find living this life without you?


🎸 Verse 2:
A augmentedA     E MajorE         BB
I got swept up in a world so strange
     C# minorC#m          A augmentedA
One you'd never even recognize
 E MajorE           BB
Oh, but I slipped away
      C# minorC#m
Now I'm a stranger and I don't know why
A augmentedA       E MajorE        BB
It's killin' mе, but your words
         C# minorC#m          A augmentedA
They brought me out onto steady ground
E MajorE            BB
Whеn I was wounded and ashamed

🎸 Chorus 2:
E MajorE        F# minorF#m
And now that my heart is empty
C# minorC#m      BB
Where should I go?
E MajorE       F# minorF#m
You've always been a constant
C# minorC#m       BB        A augmentedA
My northern star, where do I go
C# minorC#m    BB
Yeah, without you?


🎸 Bridge:
E MajorE F# minorF#m C# minorC#m BB C# minorC#m BB x2
A augmentedA C# minorC#m BB


🎸 Verse 3:
A augmentedA    E MajorE        BB
Feel the storm coming on
     C# minorC#m
Feel the darkness at your gate
A augmentedA    E MajorE         BB
Live the loneliest of life
     C# minorC#m
Keep on moving at your pace
A augmentedA     E MajorE
Ain't the sky just shades of gray
BB     C# minorC#m              A augmentedA
Until you seen it from the other side?
 E MajorE           BB
Oh, if loving you is the same
   C# minorC#m     BB
It's only some occasional rain
