🎸 Intro:
E F#m C#m B x2
A C#m B

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


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


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


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


🎸 Bridge:
E F#m C#m B C#m B x2
A C#m B


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