D5                                A5
Tried to face up to the blinding sun
      B5
Racing for the final word to come
             G5        G5
Facing up is hard, to stay devout
        D5       A5                     G5
I can't see the sand and it's running out
D5                G5
And it's running out
D5                                   A5
We quote each other only when we're wrong

                B5
We tear out the threads and move along
              G5    G5
Can't seem to find common ground
        D5       A5                     E5
I can't see the sand and it's running out
            A5
It was only circumstances
             D5
But it's the difference
                A5
It gets in the way
           E5          A5
No race is run in this direction

                D5
You can't break even
          A5             B5
You can't even quit the game

D5
The current drags to the bottom
                  A5
A hemorrhage that moves us around
          B5
Pulls and beckons, strong direction
           G5       G5
High water forever bringing us down
        D5      A5                     G5
I can't see the sand and it's running out
D5            G5
It's running out
E5          A5
It was only circumstances
             D5
But it's the difference
               A5
It gets in the way
           E5          A5
No race is run in this direction
                D5
You can't break even
          A5             G5     D5
You can't even quit the game
