F#                                          Abm/B
Walt Grace, desperately hating this whole place
        Em7             C#             B6
Dreamed to discover a new space and buried himself alive
                F#                              Abm/B
Inside his basement. Tongue on the side of his face meant
                                Em7              C#                    B6     
He's working away on displacement and what it would take to survive


Abm                     F#             C#
Cause when you're done with this world
Abm               F#             C#
You know the next is up to you
F#                      B              C#
And his wife told his kids he was crazy
F#                      B              C#
And his friends said he'd fail if he tried
        F#                      B         Em7      Ab
But with the will to work hard and a library card
                B                       C#                     F#
He took a homemade, fan blade, one-man submarine ride

That morning the sea was mad and I mean it
Waves as big as he'd seen it deep in his dreams at home
From dry land, he rolled it over to wet sand
Closed the hatch up with one hand
And pedaled off alone

Cause when you're done with this world
You know the next is up to you
And for once in his life, it was quiet
As he learned how to turn in the tide
And the sky was a flare when he came up for air
In his homemade, fan blade, one-man submarine ride

- Solo has the same chords as the chorus. -

One evening, when weeks had passed since his leaving
The call she planned on receiving finally made it home
She accepted the news she never expected
The operator connected the call from Tokyo

Cause when you're done with this world
You know the next is up to you
Now his friends bring him up when they're drinking
At the bar with his name on the side
And they smile when they kid, as they speak of the man
Who took a homemade, fan blade, one-man submarine ride

* NOTE: John Mayer is flirting with C#sus4 chord every now and then at the first 
two line of the chorus. Give it a try.
