--------------Intro----------------
===================================
|Gm |Em |Dm |Am |Am |G |F |Cm |Bb |B |
|Bb |F |Bb |F |
===================================
-------------Verse-1---------------
===================================
Bb
And there were future reflections
F
On the face and the hands
Bb
On a green colored island
F
On a primitive man
Bb
It was the future reflecting
F
It felt familiar but new
Bb
A street was missing a building
F
The kids had something to do
===================================
-------------Chorus-1--------------
===================================
GmDm
There was a feeling the spirit was leaving
AAm
Red like a marker
GF
So my tribe, with my knife
CmBbF
Cut the heart from a lonely life
===================================
-------------Verse-2---------------
===================================
Bb
I saw patterns on floorboards
F
Deep in the dust was a leader
Bb
Someone was walking on floorboards
F
Turned them from oak to cedar
Bb
He can assess the situation
F
I wrapped a string around my finger
Bb
Into the forest with the young ones
F
I don't expect to be a winner
===================================
-------------Chorus-2--------------
===================================
GmEmDm
But as long as you feel it, I'm a believer
AAm
My heart is phosphor
GF
Sea rolls and death tolls
CmBb
Break the surface don't break my bones
GmEmDm
Off of the trail and off of your hands and
AAm
Onto a new plan
GF
Is the cost to stay lost
CmBb
Forever in an empty skin
Bdim
Pale and thin
===================================
-----------Bridge+Outro------------
===================================
C5B5
If it's good, or if it's fortune, I can't tell
Bb5F/A
But pieces come together for some reason just as well
C5
Their guns couldn't see us
B5
There's a sea outside my door
Bb5
And one day I'll appreciate
F/AA/C#Dm
The rush of blood and the washed out beat of the shore
CBbF/A
And remember what it felt like
DmCBbF/A
To be alone, sitting in the sunlight
DmF/A
All alone
DCBF/A
