Capo 6th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

(hammer on with middle finger on the C and Fmaj7/C throughout the song)

Hell it was crystal clear

Why you left me standing here

But the wake you left behind

It's got me swimming every night

And I've got god on my side

For the first time in my life

I feel the rising of the sea, the waves keep crashing at my feet

He's sent a flood to set me free

(same as first verse)

I never knew how much it hurt

But they say you have to learn

If you're gonna write at all

You won't know you're flying till you fall

And my foods been tasting plain

And the sky don't look the same

How'd she take that away?

Left me here in such a state, turned the blue I saw to grey

(Break: , /, , /

It's never like the fights on the TV shows

It goes down, in real life, so bad you're walkin' home

Now I know, what it means to be alone

Harder than your heart of stone, you don't want this heart of gold

You don't want this heart of gold

you don't want this heart of gold

No you don't want this heart at all

(same as verse)

I guess I better write this down, so I know my way around

And I can finally ask you how, you could stand and watch me drown

I'll say the things I'm thinking now
