[Intro]
F#m D F#m C#
D F#m D F#m
[Verse 1]
F#mPicture a man
F#mSeen like a spec out from the shore
DSwimming out beyond the breakers
F#mLike he's done his life before
E C#He feels a coming of a squall
D F#mWill drag him out a greater length
D F#mBut knows his strength, and tries to gather it
[Verse 2]
F#mAnd he swims on
F#mTurning back to shore again
DAbove the outer atmosphere
F#mOf a world he's never seen
E C#And looking down to his new home
D F#m DHe feels the rising of a wave and knows at once
F#m E C#He will not weather it like that man
[Pre-Chorus]
C# D F#m DI lookеd down into the depths when I mеt you
DI couldn't measure it
[Chorus]
F# AAnytime I'd struggled on
D F#Against the course out on my own
E C# D F#mEvery time I'd burn through the world, I'd see
C# E F#mThat the world, it burns through me
F#But when I (I), I'd let Go (I'd let go)
DMy struggling form (My struggling form)
F#mMy willing soul (I'd see)
E C#Every time (Each time)
D F#mWould flow through the world, I'd see
C# EThat the world (The world)
F#mIt flows through me (It flows through me)
C# E F#mThat the world, it flows through me
[Instrumental Break]
F#m D E F#m E C# D F#m E F#m
[Verse 2]
F#mPicture a grave
F#mPicture six feet freshly dug
DThe sharp temporary walls
F#mAt the long-term cliff edge of the world
E C#Light and air find some new deepness there
D F#mAnd usher down the sky
F#m Dmaj7 F#mWhere one stands by and tries to make sense of it
[Verse 3]
F#mBut try measure loss
F#mMeasure the silence of a house
DThe unheard footsteps at the doorway
F#mThe unemployment of the mouth
E C#The waking up, having forgotten
D F#m DAnd remembering again the full extent
F#mOf what forever is
[Pre-Chorus]
E C#With each grave
D F#m DI think of loss and I can only think of you
F#mAnd I couldn't measure it
[Chorus]
F# AAnytime I've struggled on (Struggled on)
DAgainst the course (Against the course)
F#Out on my own (I'd see)
E C#Every time (Each time)
D F#mI'd burn through the world, I'd see
C#That the world (The world)
E F#mIt burns through me (Burns through me)
F#But when I (I), I'd let Go (I'd let go)
DMy struggling form (My struggling form)
E F#mMy willing soul (I'd see)
E C#Every time (Each time)
D F#mWould flow through the world, I'd see
C#That the world (The world)
E F#mIt flows through me (It flows through me)
C# E F#mThat the world, it flows through me
