Verse 1:
E5                   F#m7
I could tell you the wildest of tales
B/D#                    E5
My friend the giant and travelling sales
E5               F#m7
Tell you all the times that I failed
    B/D#                    E5
The years all behind me The stories excelled
    E          A/F#       A9
And I'm drying out Crying out
     A(hold)
This isn't how I go

Verse 2:
E5                    F#m7
I could tell you of a man not so tall
    B/D#                     E5
Who said life's a circus and so we are small
E5            F#m7
Tell you of a girl that I saw
  B/D#                    E5
I froze in the moment and she changed it all
C#9            E          B9
And I'm drying out Crying out
     A9          C#9
This isn't how I go
       E         B9
Hurry now Lay me down
A9                   B9     C#9   A9    E
And let these waters flow...ohhh..oohh..ooooh
B9     C#9   A/F#  A9
Flow...ohhh..oohh..ooooh


Chorus 1:
C#m          B              A                    E
Son I am not everything you thought that I would be
    A/F#        C#m            A         B
But every story I have told is part of me

Verse 3:
E5               F#m7
And you keep the air in my lungs
B/D#                E5
Floating along as a melody comes
       E5               F#m7
And my heart beats like timpani drums
B/D#                     E5
Keeping the time while a symphony strums
C#9            E          B9
And I'm drying out Crying out
A9               C#9
This isn't how I go
      E          B9
Hurry now Lay me down
    A9               B9     C#9   A9    E
And let these waters flow...ohhh..oohh..ooooh
B9     C#9   A/F#  A9
Flow...ohhh..oohh..ooooh
       B9    C#9    A9    E
Let it flow...ohhh..oohh..ooooh
       B9     C#9   A9    E
Let it flow...ohhh..oohh..ooooh
