G                             G/f#
I keep floating down the river but the ocean never comes
G                                 C
Since the operation I heard you're breathing just for one
Am                  D          Am                     D
Now everything is imaginary, especially what you love
Am                D                 C
You left another message said it's done,

It's done

G                                      G/f#
When I hear beautiful music it's always from another time
G                              C
Old friends I never visit, I remember what they're like
Am              D                Am                D
Standing on a doorstep full of nervous butterflies
Am            D                    C
Waiting to be asked to come inside
----------------------|
----------------------|
---0h2p0--------------|
----------2--0h2p0----|

----------------------|
Just come inside

G

C                    D
But I keep going out
G                       G/f#                      Em
I can't sleep next to a stranger when I'm coming down
B7                                      C
It's 8 a.m. my heart is beating too loud
----------------------|
----------------------|
---0h2p0--------------|
----------2--0h2p0----|
-3------------------3-|
----------------------|
Too loud
G

C            D      G        G/f#         Em
Don't be so amazing or I'll miss you too much
B7                                 C
I felt something that I had never touched

INTRO

G                               G/f#
Everything gets smaller now the further that I go
G/f#                                     C
Towards the mouth and the reunion of the Known and the Unknown
Am                 D            Am                 D
Consider yourself lucky if you think of it as home
        Am                       D                   C
You can move mountains with your misery if you don't

If you don't

INTRO

G                                 G/f#
It comes to me in fragments, even those still split in two
G                                              C
Under the leaves of that old Lime Tree I stood examining the fruit
          Am                  D               Am                    D
Some were ripe and some were rotten, I felt nauseous with the truth
           Am          D                  C
There will never be a time more opportune

G

C                      D
So I just won't be late
G                              G/f#             Em
The window closes, shock rolls over in a tidal wave
B7                                       C
And all the color drains out of the frame

G

C                  D       G        G/f#             Em
So pleased with a daydream that now living is no good
B7                                           C
I took off my shoes and walked into the woods
B7                                      C
I felt lost and found with every step I took
