I keep floating down the river but the ocean never comes
G5                                 C5
Since the operation I heard you're breathing just for one
A5                  D5          A5                     D5
Now everything is imaginary, especially what you love
A5                D5                 C5
You left another message said it's done,

When I hear beautiful music it's always from another time
G5                              C5
Old friends I never visit, I remember what they're like
A5              D5                A5                D5
Standing on a doorstep full of nervous butterflies
A5            D5                    C5
Waiting to be asked to come inside
---------------------- |

Just come inside

C5                    D5
But I keep going out
G5                       G/f#                      E5
I can't sleep next to a stranger when I'm coming down
B5                                      C5
It's 8 a.m. my heart is beating too loud
---------------------- |

Too loud
G5

C5            D5      G5        G/f#         E5
Don't be so amazing or I'll miss you too much
B5                                 C5
I felt something that I had never touched

INTRO

G5                               G/f#
Everything gets smaller now the further that I go
G/f#                                     C5
Towards the mouth and the reunion of the Known and the Unknown
A5                 D5            A5                 D5
Consider yourself lucky if you think of it as home
        A5                       D5                   C5
You can move mountains with your misery if you don't

INTRO

G5                                 G/f#
It comes to me in fragments, even those still split in two
G5                                              C5
Under the leaves of that old Lime Tree I stood examining the fruit
          A5                  D5               A5                    D5
Some were ripe and some were rotten, I felt nauseous with the truth
           A5          D5                  C5
There will never be a time more opportune

C5                      D5
So I just won't be late
G5                              G/f#             E5
The window closes, shock rolls over in a tidal wave
B5                                       C5
And all the color drains out of the frame

G5

C5                  D5       G5        G/f#             E5
So pleased with a daydream that now living is no good
B5                                           C5
I took off my shoes and walked into the woods
B5                                      C5
I felt lost and found with every step I took
